LatchKits Mermaid Kit

Young crafters will love creating their own fuzzy mini-rug from scratch with the Kahoots LatchKits Mermaid kit. With a little bit of practice, our young testers were able to get the hang of the craft, which involves using a crochet hook to loop, hoop and pull pieces of super-soft yarn through a colour-coded, canvas-mesh background. The result? An adorable mermaid mini-rug that can be hung on the wall (the fabric-trimmed canvas includes loops for this) or used as a fun rug for dolls. We love that the kit isn’t meant to be finished in one sitting, but is an activity kids can come back to again and again until the craft is complete. Parents appreciated that the threading helps develop fine motor skills, while also providing a quiet activity kids can do on their own. And everyone agreed: kids really get a sense of pride and accomplishment when the rug is finished.
