Eazy Stitch™ Kidz Handcraft
The Eazy Stitch™ Kidz programmes have been running since 2006 and was specially developed for the South-African child, to develop a love for crafts and needlework. Eazy Stitch™ Kidz consist of 3 programmes (Gr.R, Beginners & Intermediate) for the different age groups. With time we expanded to various schools and private venues all over South Africa. Educators are trained and licensed to present the different programmes. Thus far we have achieved amazing results. Learners and students master a wide variety of needlework and hand craft techniques, applicable to their age.
- Hand sewing
- Embroidery
- French knitting
- Knitting
- Crochet
- Platting
- Weaving
- Beading
- Fabric paint & dye work
Advantages for the child:
Every lesson has been formulated and tested to meet the preferences and abilities of the learners and the programmes have been extensively evaluated by a registered occupational therapist. The Eazy Stitch™ Kidz handcraft programmes are modern and “funky” and totally different to the old-fashioned needlework / handwork that were taught at SA schools years ago. Not only does the programmes stimulate the learners’ fine motor skills, but also awakens entrepreneurial skills, as all the items that we make are easily sold at informal and craft markets.
