It’s show time!

Settle in for the show as children perform the classic ballet with their very own stitched puppets

If there's one thing more enjoyable than stitching it's sharing your hobby with someone else - especially children! Kids can learn to love to stitch just as much as you do and they make excellent pupils, so why not get them involved with this set of classic puppets inspired by The Nutcracker ballet. With four characters to choose from, the whole family can join Clara on her midnight adventures with the soldier, Mouse King and Sugar Plum Fairy all making their grand entrances.

Stitched on plastic canvas, these jointed dolls are easy to stitch as well as make all you need are some mini brads to attach the different pieces together.

Children will find holding the stiff canvas a little easier than floppy fabric too, making this a perfect starter project once you've demonstrated the basics. We also have a great article on page 41 which gives some helpful tips on teaching children to stitch, so you'll soon be all set for the performance to begin!
