Vendor Info
There’s something special about teaching children to work with their hands!Harrisville Designs developed the first Friendly Loom™ Products in the 1980s in response to a growing demand for ‘hands-on’ creative activities for children and teenagers.
Our products are designed to provide fun, challenging, educational experiences while developing concentration, fine and gross motor control, and a better understanding of spatial relationships and patterning.
In this fast-paced world where children are being forced to grow up too quickly, we believe that it is essential to help them slow things down and experience their creative abilities by introducing them to the joys of working with their hands.
When a child is able to say, “I made this myself,” the pride in achievement is not only felt in that child’s mind and heart, it is represented in a tangible form by something beautiful and practical to own or to give as a gift. We hope that you will find Friendly Loom™ products useful tools for helping children discover the creativity that’s within them.
