There is lots of fun to be had with making jewelry for dolls, and kits are the answer. Most little girls love making jewelry, so from the outset you will enjoy huge smiles when the time comes for this creative play. There are many amazing aspects of this craft - increasing fine motor skills of your child as well as improving focus, with both skills improved through this kind of activity. Excellent preparation for reading and writing! Attention spans are also catered to in that it doesn't take long for a child to create a small bracelet or necklace and the satisfaction is immense!
How to begin? Probably best to simply check online to find doll jewelry kits and note how they are put together - what are the contents? Those kits will give you a clear idea of what you will need. You might decide to simply order online or if the prices put you off, you'll want to take note of the details and go out on your own to purchase the supplies. It would be a great idea to take your child with you and have her participate in the planning and purchase of the kit - or kits since you may want to have a few extra.

One of the nicest aspects of this activity is the amount of relaxation it offers to a child. After a day of school and the regimentation that entails, this pastime offers the perfect antidote to following rules and regulations, namely creativity and a slow pace. While creating jewelry for her doll, you child also makes her own decisions in regard to what she wants to create and how she will proceed.
Another great reason to assemble doll jewelry kits is that they are always 'at the ready' for whatever occasion pops up. It might be a rainy day where no one wants to go outside and everyone is feeling lazy! It might be a party where a fun activity is needed (you can never have enough activities ready!) and it might be a car trip where the journey can be very boring. The benefit of these kits is that they can be created rather quickly so your child can have a wonderful sense of accomplishment without needing to spend a lot of time.
Plan ahead and create a few of these jewelry kits to use for emergencies or unexpected occasions. Change tears of boredom to smiles of pleasure when you pull one out unexpectedly and present a lovely challenge to your child and their playmates too! These kits engage both hands and minds, keeping children well occupied with the need to plan, choose and create their projects.
Now how to get started? It's easy! Once you've got your ideas together, or even if you don't, stop by one of the stores in your area that has a craft section - it might be Michaels, Target, Walmart of any shop that stocks jewelry supplies. Begin with the container you will need - preferably clear plastic and with small sections to hold individual items. Naturally you will want to seek the tiniest baubles possible, but don't forget such items as ribbon, sequins, glitter and glue! Once you have made your first shopping trip, keep watching so that you can always maintain a kit or two in good supply!
If your birthday or a special occasion is on the horizon, don't be surprised if a lovely little home-made jewelry gift pops up for you ... and it's never a bad idea to send out some little hints before the date! What could be nicer than a gift made by your child especially f
