EZ 2 Quikrochet - Best Toys '06 - The Bead Shop

Crochet is a French knitting technique that grew in popularity starting in the nineteenth century. It is easily distinguished from other techniques due to its use of a hook (or "crochet" in French). The Quikrochet by EZ2 is a small device that allows even children to explore this fun technique in a simple way. From necklaces to bracelets and headbands, the jewelry they can create is limited only by their imaginations.

Each EZ 2 Quikrochet kit comes with a number of colorful beads and strings. Users simply wrap the elastic string around the spool hooks and complete their creations by using the included knitting hook. Within minutes, they can complete colorful pieces to display, wear, or share with friends.

Designed to bring out the artist within, the EZ 2 Quikrochet is directed at children aged eight and up. Nevertheless, as simple as certain children may find it to use, younger ones may need a little supervision. Parents can use the toy as an opportunity to spend time with their child, helping them discover their artistic abilities or maybe just have fun sharing a moment together.

A winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award, the EZ 2 Quikrochet device is made of durable plastic and is practically entirely self-contained. The hook has a pointed end to it, which is why younger children may need help. The kit comes with a wide variety of glass beads which should be kept away from children under the age of eight. Once kids master this fun introduction to crochet, they may be ready to tackle bigger crochet patterns and projects!
