I Am Obsessed with This Limited-Edition Sewing Kit Designed for Kids (I Want One for Myself!)

I’m pretty sure the first time I ever sewed something was in high school home ec class. And to be clear, my sewing skills have not developed since. I wish The Woobles’ new Intro to Sewing Kits had existed when I was a kid. 

The Woobles is the beloved brand behind supercute crochet kits like Billy the Unicorn, Fred the Pastel Dinosaur, and even collabs like this Bluey-themed Bingo Crochet Kit and this KPop Demon Hunters-themed Derpy Extra Squeezy Crochet Kit. Each kit comes with all the materials you need to make a crochet cutie, plus step-by-step videos, a PDF downloadable pattern, and a pre-started item. The crochet kits are available for different skill levels, but are recommended for age 12+. 

And that’s where The Woobles’ exciting new release comes in: The Intro to Sewing Kit is for kids ages 6+ — and I can already think of some elementary school-age kids who would go wild over this as a gift. Each $25 package includes kits to make three mini fleece-covered plushies: Pierre the Penguin, Rocky the Seal, and Yoko the Starfish. Just like the crochet options, each package also includes everything you need to do the project, plus video tutorials, a pattern, pre-started designs, and more. 

“My 7 year old son absolutely loved making these stuffies,” wrote one Intro to Sewing Kit reviewer on The Woobles’ site. “With some assistance, my 4 year old daughter made the starfish. They keep asking when the next kit is coming!”

The Intro to Sewing Kit is a product of The Woobles LAB, the company’s incubator for new craft kits. All of the LAB products are made in limited supply, so you’ll want to scoop up this kit ASAP before inventory runs out. 

I love that the kits make for cute, screen-free fun — and sneakily teach a real life skill while they’re at it. This might be the best-ever new addition to your kid-friendly analog bag. Honestly, I might need to buy one for myself to brush up on my own sewing skills.
