School Age Children Knit

knitting is a great skill which is easy to teach children between the ages of 6 and 12. It is something that they can do in the car on long trips, in a restaurant, or while waiting in the doctor's office. I can testify that as a Mother of three children between the ages 9,10 and 11, knitting relieves tension and illiminates bickering because they become so engaged in it. It also brings your family together; instead of everyone being in their bedrooms playing video games or entranced in T.V., knitting allows everyone to be in the same room doing the same thing.
Children are proud of their accomplishments and enjoy the process as well as the product of their efforts. A bonus is the confidence they feel as they teach their peers to master this skill.
