Tying star

"A friend, a good friend, that's the best thing in the world!" once sang the Comedian Harmonists - the hit may be ancient, but the message is modern and still applies today: for us and for our children. Once the relationship with the new daycare or school friends has been established, it is a wonderful idea to tie the friendship with a colorful ribbon, excuse me: to seal it. The knot star made of solid oiled beech wood is warm and flattering in the hand and makes the knotting of the friendship ribbon immediately successful. With the help of the eight slots in the knotting star, seven wool or cotton threads can be quickly knotted into a ribbon. The principle of the star knot is literally child's play and can be quickly grasped by children as young as kindergarten age. And who knows what the imagination of your child can still create everything from the yarns: colorful keychains or a necklace for the cuddly toy, a cup warmer, as you could not have invented it better in your wildest dreams, or a hair band that tempts your hairdresser to exclamations of delight ... Oh, just let your child do. You will be amazed.

One right, one left, drop one - with effective starting aids such as knitting rumm, knot star and knitting board, this age-old joke is finally a thing of the past. Where untrained fingers like to slip the yarn off the needle, where stitches want to unravel again or where we have lashed them together so tightly that we feel we will never get them off the needle again, these little helpers step in and introduce your offspring to the world of needlework with their first successes. A playful exercise in concentration and patience and perfect to promote cognitive development at the same time.

Because what is knitting and crocheting, embroidery, knotting and weaving all about? It's about networking yarns together to form a knit or woven fabric. And what is learning about? It's about networking the synapses in the brain so that information can be stored, retrieved and combined into new knowledge quickly. As we learn complex movement sequences, our synapses also network to form complex structures. For our children, handwork is therefore an effective exercise to train cognitive dexterity at the same time as fine motor dexterity. Moving fingers, moving brain, it is aptly said. With results to be proud of: my first self-knotted friendship bracelet, my first self-knitted scarf, my first self-solved world formula! Oops, well, maybe not the world formula. But another step into this colorful, exciting, challenging adventure called life succeeds your child with it in any case.
