At The Make Arcade, we know the school holidays can be long - have you had the “I’m booooored!” chants yet? That’s why our craft kits for kids are designed to help parents swap screens for stitches and create calm, creative moments together.
Cross stitch is the perfect relaxing activity for kids and grown-ups alike. With our easy beginner craft kits, it’s simple to get kids stitching - and learning new skills they’ll treasure.
5 Fun Ways to Get Kids Stitching This Summer
1. Start Simple with a Beginner Craft Kit
Choose a beginner craft kit or mini cross stitch kit from The Make Arcade. Quick, easy projects mean happy kids and proud parents - perfect for holiday crafting.
2. Create a Summer Craft Station
Set up a craft corner at the kitchen table or outside in the garden. All you need is felt, colourful threads, scissors (and maybe a few snacks!) - your kids bring the imagination.
3. Let Kids Get Creative
Encourage kids to choose their own colours, threads or even design a small cross stitch pattern. It’s a great way to build confidence and imagination - and our The Make Arcade Cross Stitch Kits make it easy!
4. Make Decorations & Handmade Gifts
Use finished makes to decorate bedrooms, personalise school bags or create handmade gifts for grandparents and friends. Each project is designed to be fun, useful and easy to display. You could paint the hoops or frame finished pieces to make them even more giftable.
5. Take Stitch Time Outside
Clip your fabric into a hoop and stitch in the garden, at the park or even on a picnic. Fresh air and crafting go hand in hand - just pack up your craft kit and enjoy.
