Knitting is a fun hobby for kids. Although both boys and girls can learn to knit it's usually girls that are interested in this hobby.
Knitting is a creative hobby that can give girls a feeling of achievement and success when they make something useful or beautiful. It's also a traditional hobby that can give kids an interest beyond technology and the internet.
The Shure Learn to Knit set and book is the traditional knitting gift for a girl. It includes:
The illustrated instruction book means you don't have to be a knitter yourself to introduce your daughter to this hobby. (You can even learn to knit too.)

| Quick Knit Loom Creativity For Kids |
The Creativity For Kids Quick Knit Loom is an easy "knitting" kit that doesn't need any knitting skills to make great stuff. This means kids can start making things really fast.
The kit includes a large circle loom, two sided hand loom and a tassel maker as well as yarn and decorative buttons.
Your daughter can make things like hats and scarves without having to actually knit them in the usual way. You can also buy extra wool at your local craft store to use with this kit to make sure the fun and creativity lasts.
Knitting books for kids are a great idea, especially if you already know how to knit. If you're a knitter you can be a great help to your daughter while she does the fun patterns in these two books. But if you aren't a knitter the books have clear instructions so are still worth a look.
These two books are the best available picks for kids who are into knitting great stuff.
If you're a knitter don't forget to buy the some special kids knitting needles to go with the project books.
I was taught on normal adult knitting needles and found it extra difficult. So I think the special knitting needles for kids are a great idea.
In this DVD kids teach kids how to knit. The DVD also includes a storyteller with stories that go along with the steps of knitting to make it easier and fun for kids.
The DVD is interactive. Kids knit along with the DVD which automatically pauses until they have finished the skill being taught and press play to continue.
Very skilled knitters who aren't too sure how to teach a child to knit have found this a really helpful and enjoyable DVD.

So glad it was helpful for you. My grandmother taught me (well tried to teach me) how to knit. But I found it too hard as a child with adult needles and patterns. The only knitting I've ever been able to do was with a knitting loom. Crocheting I loved.
These kits are amazing. My youngest daughter wants to learn how to knit or crochet, but I don't know how. It's something I never got the hang of. These handy kits may just have me learning as well. Thanks :)K
