KiwiCo | Hands-on Projects for Kids

We love working with yarn! It's a great, mess free material for arts & crafts projects with young children, and older kids can learn to knit all sorts of cool things from stuffed animals to sweaters. Whether you know how to knit like a pro, are just starting out, or have no idea what the words spool-knit and loom-knit mean, this list of our favorite yarn projects has something for every age, interest, and skill level!

We've assembled a list of DIY musical instruments to kit out your home orchestra with drums, guitars, tambourines, kazoos, bells, and even a diggary... dijarry... ugh, hey Siri! How do you spell the word didgeridoo?
