Here at Thready, our goal is to aid kids with disabilities, as well as any other kids, in acquiring hands-on experiences and soft skills that can be transferred to adult life and to make embroidery appealing to kids in the age of technology. Our kits are designed by embroidery professionals in order to fit any child’s need. 

Embroidery can be beneficial to kids in the early years. It develops lifelong skills, such as coordination, creative thinking, fine motor skills, and concentration.

Kids can learn transferrable skills, such as sewing and stitching, while using their imagination to be creative. Every embroidery project requires planning, for example, what fabric, colours, and needles to choose, and this is a soft skill any child needs to develop at an early age. Embroidery also enhances manual dexterity. Teaching kids embroidery can be beneficial in easing their way into adulthood. Embroidery teaches patience and allows one to feel a sense of achievement when the project is completed. Embroidery strengthens kids’ emotional intelligence and self-esteem.

“In that sense, embroidery checks all the boxes since it scratches the creative itch while developing emotional and academic capabilities and shaping children into well-rounded adults.”
