Crafts for Kids

Kathleen Sams, Red Heart Ambassador for Coats & Clark, appears on new episodes of the PBS show, Hands On Crafts this season continuing her series basic knitting and crochet lessons for kids with new kid-friendly projects.

Hands On Crafts is packed with fun craft projects, each presented in five steps and five ingredients. This season Kathleen shows how to knit and crochet a purse, head band, hat and a cell phone/Ipod cover.

The shows website, Craftsforkids.com, makes available project sheets for each of the 10 seasons it has been on the air. It is a treasure of ideas! Additionally, video clips from the show can be seen on www.howtoonline.com.

Another great aspect of this program is The Hands On: Crafts for Kids Project which encourages kids to help others through crafts. One of the foundation’s initial projects was to donate craft supplies to children at homeless shelters. On the show and website Hands-On spotlights kids and clubs that are helping other kids in their communities either by teaching crafts, donating items they have made or making items for fundraisers.
