To impart to the small child love for various needlework it is rather difficult, but this such important and useful occupation, especially for girls. Needlework promotes emergence of such qualities as diligence, patience, the child through time itself will begin to show an initiative to make a beautiful and pleasant knickknack for the friends and relatives that also stimulates imagination and creative thinking. Also the ability to embroider and to knit can be useful in adulthood not only as quite good economy of the family budget, and and as means of a raising of mood.
As to accustom the child to needlework?
If your daughter independently did not become interested in needlework and does not show any desire to be engaged in it, it is necessary to approach you this question very delicately. If your baby very much likes to play with dolls, constantly changes to them hairstyles, clothes, images, can suggest it to create independently new clothes for favourites, having tried to make unique and beautiful knitted jackets, skirts, dresses. If you doubt the abilities, and do not know how to make a bauble of threads how to knit small things and so on, stock up in advance with fashionable magazines in which schemes of knitting of tiny clothes for dolls are presented. Try to choose such editions or the websites on the Internet where schemes simple and available to the child are stated.
To interest the girl it is even more, prepare samples of products that her was on what to equal. Also try to be engaged with the daughter together, to teach her therein. You can make so that the child knitted a thing for a doll, and you – clothes for her. Surely you praise the baby for all progress as it best of all stimulates interest in further work. Also observe tranquility, be not nervous, do not swear if the daughter is not able to understand something from the first. All can make mistakes, and your main objective to teach the child to perceive failures as a usual grade level.
If you see that the kid became interested in process, can not continue to motivate to act, let itself shows imagination and creativity. Try to wait for the moment when the daughter herself begins to think out models and to choose materials for the creativity.
It is desirable to begin training in needlework with the earliest age. Pay attention not only to knitting, there is a mass of other options of needlework, for example, embroidery, weaving from different material, beadwork and so on. Support the child in all his undertakings that will give an impetus to development of abilities and skills.
