Make this holiday season count with the 12 Days of Cross Stitch Wood Ornaments kit—a delightful blend of crafting, countdown tradition and skill-building. Behind each of the 12 numbered doors awaits a pre-cut wood ornament ready for cross-stitch with the supplied embroidery floss, needles, jingle bell and jute cord.
Ideal for ages 8 and up, this kit fosters fine-motor control, colour recognition, patience, sequencing and pride in creating something display-ready. Whether used as a classroom activity, sibling shared project or family countdown tradition, each day’s reveal adds texture, rhythm and a sense of achievement to the season. Finished ornaments become keepsakes or gift-tags and help children practise real needle-work skills—no glue required, only focus and creativity.
This is more than a craft: it’s a learning ritual. As children stitch and count down, they build perseverance, concentration and style. The cross-stitch holes are printed and the thread colours are mapped to each design—making it accessible and rewarding for first-time stitchers. With thirty years of safe-toy testing behind the brand, you’re gifting fun and foundational skills in one bundle.
