Activity & Lessons - Arts & Crafts (Crochet/Knitting/Quilting for Kids)

P.
I know that Jo-Ann fabrics has summer camps that teach crafts. I don't think they start until summer, but they may have some weekend classes. I would call your local store. Good Luck

The Hamilton County 4H has all kinds of craft stuff for kids. It may be too late but you can at least try to call them.

Check out your local JoAnne Fabrics(if they have them in KY?), they offer a wide array of classes for children and adults, from cake decorating to cross stitch, sewing and crochet classes.

4H like the other mom recommended is also very good, my sister and I use to do that when we were kids. My grandmother was a professional cake designer and we did the cake decorating stuff for awhile in 4H! I think it's great to get involved in and to this day I still like to make cakes for my son and the rest of my family. It's a lot of fun...

Erica's sewing center in South Bend offers lots of classes and clubs for sewing, quilting, crochet and knitting. I don't think they do general crafts. You can see them on the web www.ericas.com. It might be a great thing that you can do with your girls. I enjoy sewing, quilting and crocheting (never quite got the hang of knitting) but it's great relaxation and gives a real sense of pride to see what you can accomplish.
Good Luck and God Bless <>< J.

Have you looked at Hobby Lobby? They have such kits made especially for small children. You also might try scholastic.com and orientaltrading.com They have alot of craft projects for children

Another place to try is local craft stores like Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Michael's often has Saturday classes just for kids for a minimal fee. Also, if you are involved in a church, seek out some of the older women...they usually LOVE it when young girls try to learn the "old" crafts. I have to admit I learned all of this from my grandmother, and it creates such a great bond. Or, you might even put an ad in the paper...I just think learning it one on one like that will enrich young girls so much. Good luck!
