Become a kid yourself to play with a kid, that is the first rule to be applied when you want to mingle with little children. It is the same, when it comes to toys and other articles. Children love to create things like craft and drawings. These tiny tots have a creative and imaginative mind. To encourage such talents it is important for them to have little possessions of their own like a little sewing machine. An adult sewing machine holds no fancy for them. They identify fun with a machine of their size. Many toyshops or malls sell such instruments, especially meant for young children. It is wiser and safer for naughty kids who have an inquisitive mind.
Children’s machines are not as speedy as adult sewing machines, they have specialized parts, which are just right for kid handling. Even the needles are plastic and can do no harm. They are battery operated, thus the speed is slow to avoid risk of injury while sewing.
Sewing clothes needs creative talent and skill, which may be lying dormant in your child. So awaken this talent and get him/her a sewing machine specially meant for kids. These sewing machines are small and compact. Moving them from one place to another is no big issue. They can even be carried along on a summer camp and picnics. This will keep your kids busy and occupied. Once they learn the nitty-gritty of the sewing machine, they can do magic with it. They can easily make their doll’s clothes or even their own dresses.
Just imagine how proud they will feel wearing a dress they themselves have stitched! Even as a parent, you can have lots of fun with your little ones by playing along with them, teaching them something new every day about the sewing machine and its uses. A mother -child bond will get stronger by sharing such creative fun together. Unknowingly you may be teaching them their future livelihood.
Even if they don’t apply them in future, it will always prove handy when need arises. This will teach them to do their work without any outer help, for example if the clothes tear or are in need of urgent repair, they can very well do it on their very own sewing machine rather than running to a nearby tailor. They will become self-dependent and learn to value money rather than waste it.
Your naughty and mischievous kid might become real savvy and busy with the sewing machine, giving you more space and freedom. It is a fact that your child will tend to adore his/her sewing machine and slowly become ready for a real adult sewing machine.
Their creative talents may grow with such a handy appliance. And you never know – these youngsters may grow up one day to become top dress designers; thanks to the humble sewing machine you bought for them.
