If you have been doing beadwork for any length of time at all, you know how engrossing it may be. When you have children, then you're probably always on the lookout for new free beading ideas, in order to share your hobby with them. Listed here are a trio of beadwork ideas which will help you do just that!

1 - Stick with Kits - They make beading project kits that are really quite involved, so these should please even older kids. The advantages of a beading project kit are effectively twofold. First, the pattern and procedure have been pushed, and there's a clear picture of what the completed product should look like, giving your kids a clearly defined goal to aim for. Second, all the elements you need to complete the design are in the kit, so nothing is else to buy. A third advantage is apparent if you are dealing with multiple children. Kits take the guesswork, arguing, and fussing about who's going to do what out of the equation, saving you a massive amount of time!

2 - If you're working with younger kids, do yourself a favor and investigate Pony Beads! You may not want very young children playing in (and perhaps spilling, or worse, eating!) your supplies, and Pony Beads create a nice alternative. Secure and attractive, they give your kids their unique supplies to work with, when preserving yours, and there are a variety of kits and project books available, making this an outstanding choice!

3 - Comparable to Pony Beads could be Perler Beads. Again, these are wonderfully suited to younger children, but I've seen some kits that would keep even teens quite happy, so if you have kids between the ages of say, 7 - 12, definitely keep Perler Beads in mind, and once again, there are many kits and project books offered, so there's never any shortage of things to do with the products you buy!

Whether you opt to use one of the concepts above or not, especially when managing younger children, it's probably a wise investment to pick up a bead tray for every child you're working with. Even if you avoid using them yourself, it will certainly minimize messes and help keep things more arranged!

And, if you DO have an interest in any of the above, you will be thrilled to know that both Perler and Pony bead supplies can be had at quite fair prices, which is nice in three ways. First, it goes easy on your wallet. Second, it preserves your own supplies, and third, it presents your kids their own "domain" to work with as well as in. You win in all directions!

As you can see from just the three beadwork ideas presented here, there are all sorts of ways to properly involve your kids in your pastime, without risking your sanity, and the list above is only your first step! The 'net is filled with free beading ideas, and there are all kinds of methods for you to get your children (of all ages) involved in a meaningful way!
