Little Marvels Crochet Circle
Building Skills. Building Confidence. Building Connections.
Ages 8–10 | 4-Week Program | Weekly 1-Hour Sessions
At Mingle & Marvel, we intentionally design experiences that support both well-being and development.
Little Marvels Crochet Circle is a weekly crochet-based program for children ages 8–10 that integrates positive psychology principles into a hands-on learning experience. Crochet naturally engages the brain in ways that support focus, emotional regulation, perseverance, and confidence—key foundations for lifelong well-being.
Structured as a four-week series, this program gives children the opportunity to build skills over time while learning in a familiar and supportive group. The consistent format supports comfort, progress, and a growing sense of capability as children return week after week.
This is a space where creativity is used as a tool for building inner skills that matter.
Why Crochet? (The Science Behind It)
Research in positive psychology and child development shows that activities involving repetitive movement, goal-setting, and visible progress can:
Strengthen attention and concentration
Support emotional regulation and stress reduction
Build self-efficacy (“I can do hard things”)
Encourage perseverance and patience
Reinforce a growth mindset through learning-by-doing
