I bought the older five grandkids, XL cross stitch kits for Christmas, as they looked simple and easy to make. They are from Anchor and called Big & Easy Cross Stitch XL. Here is a link to them on their site. Now I bought them at Fabricland close to where I live and I got them on sale.
Here is the one that Jeina made, and she will be 8 at the end of May. Hers was two cats kissing and she did a super job.
I helped the Brampton crew start theirs off when they were up for a visit. Nora did hers, as I had taught her how to cross stitch. Not sure if Paige got hers finished or not.
I would say for children aged 7+ they are a perfect way to introduce cross stitch. Also it is a finished project, as it's already on a canvas so ready to hang. Depending on what the canvas is of, these can be done in a weekend no problem.

I will have to check that out.
Thank you for posting this. The kits are not yet available here in the UK yet (website says "coming soon") I think our Rosie might enjoy the London one, she lives the city. The prices seem quite fair too. Your GD has done a lovely job , and the back looks very good. 👍😊❤️ Please tell her that this retired textile tutor would definitely give her a good mark!
Well done, Jeina - that's a lovely piece of work. xx
What a wonderful way to start kids off on something that will hopefully catch their interest for their lifetimes. Hope they're still available when our grandies get old enough!
Such a great idea, Jeina did a fantastic job front and back.
Wow, the back of Jeina's cross stitch is so neat. Good for her.
God bless.
That is a clever gift idea.
Beautiful child. She looks so happy with her work!
