I have been trying to find something like these kits to do for my grandchildren. But I have had no luck.
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[Further Information]
Looking back I see I did not give you much info on my little kid ‘kits.
They were embroidery kits with round hoops of an animal or angel etc.
They came with fabric, embroidery floss, needle, directions and a round hoop to work it on and later hang it with the hoop.
Not too fancy, just clean and clear and easy to do.
And I didn't realize how much the kids would love and treasure them. I added their names in a clear spot of the unembroidered fabric.
Does this help?

Magic Cabin sells a beginner’s embroidery kits. The kit comes in a clear vinyl zipper pouch and includes cotton floss, a wooden hoop, embroidery scissors and needle, iron-on transfer patterns, and a cotton hankie and cotton cloth for your first projects.
The iron-on transfers include some animals; however once you know how to transfer patterns, your design choices are unlimited.
You might also be interested in cross-stitch embroidery, a popular form of counted thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches are used to form a picture.
Jo-Ann’s has two beginner’s kits that are quite nice. Again, everything you need to get started is included.
