Preschool Sewing Kit- perfect quiet activity for my little one. Helps with her patience, fine motor skills and giving Mom a few extra minutes to do my thing. It’s even more helpful now that I have a new baby and she’s feeling left out with how much time the baby requires. Activities like this are perfect for keeping her mind and hands busy but still be able to hang out with us. The first time we did this sewing activity she spent two hours happily singing and sewing with me!

This would make an awesome Christmas gift or Birthday gift for any preschool aged child. I surprised our daughter with it as a Big Sister gift and had her help me put it all together. One of her favorite things is to see what’s in my bags when I get home from the craft store or party store so she was super excited that it was all for her! She loved sorting all of the colored thread in rainbow order and that there were little compartments for each thing. I’d found plastic mesh canvases that were in little shapes at the craft store but also bought a large sheet that we cut up for larger projects.
As I mentioned, she sat for two hours sewing her first project for her sister (this was a few days before she was born) and couldn’t have been happier to hang it up in her room for her. Such a great memory for me to be able to work on a new craft with her and start her love of sewing. It also sparked her interest in making thread bracelets which lead to beaded bracelets. I dusted off my huge container of beads and we made tons of jewelry for all of our friends and family.
I will be doing a second post once we’ve graduated from this preschool sewing kit and have added embroidery hoops and real needles. Is there anything I’m forgetting to add to her sewing kit or any other activities your kids love doing by themselves?

Love this! Can’t wait to try with my nieces and nephew!
I saw this post when you put it up and love how simple and creative this is! I have two nieces who would love something like this for Christmas so I’ll be pinning it for later 🙂
My daughter and nieces always love the kit type things I make up for them as gifts best! I also see them using those the most!
Ho neat! My mini has been asking for a sewing machine to make doll clothes but maybe this can be a little starter kit for her!
Great introduction! I’ll bet she’d master it quickly if she’s already wanting to make clothes! Maybe start her kit with actual fabric, a hoop and a regular embroidery needle!
What a neat project. I can’t believe she set still and had so much patience. I remember my little girls doing these around her age. Fun memories.
I was shocked! The time flew for me too. 🙂 Any other projects like this they liked doing?
