French Knitting (Tolletjie Brei) is a wonderful activity for children that works both sides of the brain – creativity and logic.  It improves their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination while developing focus and creativity.

But, apart from these obvious benefits, French Knitting also gives kids a sense of accomplishment.  It teaches them a new skill and, with practise and some hard work, they can create something of their own. That is a life skill that can be applied to a lot of other situations.
