Galt Toys, First Cross Stitch, Embroidery Craft Kit for Children, Ages 6 Years Plus

Bought as a gift and the recipient was happy with it. Can’t comment on the contents, but they seemed comprehensive and all in a nice pressed tin.

Grandaughter seems to enjoy it

This is not suitable for children age 6 to do independently as good fine motor skills needed as it’s a sharp needle

My 5.5 yr old really wanted to practice her new cross stitch skills and I thought this might be a nice introduction.Good kit and she really enjoyed sewing the pencil case but the cross stitch images were too tricky for her as the holes were small and very near to eachother.

Could do with the patterns being a bit bigger. I’ve put a £10 note in the pictures for comparison. Took my 7 year old a while to get the hang of it because the patterns are quite small and he couldn’t see the ‘squares’ very well. Good value for money though just might take younger kids a while to figure it out especially if their impatient

It was a birthday present so I couldn't send it back. When my Grand daughter opened the case, the clasp fell apart. it would have been perfect otherwise

The instructions tell you to look at the pictures on the outer cardboard wrapper- which had been binned when the kid unwrapped the present. That has made it tricky to use. Other than that it is a nice little kit.

I bought this for my 6yo. The box comes with basic instructions on how to cross stitch. The pictures are fun and including them with rings, wallet and frame is a great idea. I was looking for a set that would include a real needle and not a plastic one. This is a proper cross stitch set, it feels more grown up. After I showed her the start, she has quickly picked it up and she is cross stitching by herself and she loves it!! Perfect gift for quiter children capable of concentrating. I love it too!!
