When I was writing my tips for teaching kids to embroider, I realized how few simple embroidery patterns for kids are out there.. I am all for letting kids draw their own designs (see how my son drew & stitched a project here), but if they would rather start out with a premade design, here is a list of fun freebies that I think fit the bill! Simple stitches, fun motifs, and relatively quick to finish.
Is there a style or design you wish was out there for kids? What would get them excited about stitching? Leave a comment and I can try to find something that matches!
