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 blends hands-on learning with positive psychology and wholebeing happiness. Crochet naturally engages attention, emotional regulation, perseverance, and confidence—key foundations for lifelong well-being.

Offered as a four-week series, the program allows children to build skills over time within in a familiar and supportive group. The consistent structure helps children feel comfortable, notice their progress, and develop a growing sense of capability as they return each week.

Why Crochet? (The Science Behind It)

Research in positive psychology and child development shows that activities involving repetition, goal-setting, and visible progress can:

  • Strengthen attention and concentration

  • Support emotional regulation and stress reduction

  • Build self-efficacy and confidence

  • Encourage perseverance and patience

  • Reinforce a growth mindset through learning-by-doing

The Mingle & Marvel Approach

Little Marvels Crochet Circle is guided by Mingle & Marvel’s commitment to whole-being well-being and the science of happiness.

Our approach focuses less on outcomes and more on how children experience learning, ensuring they feel safe, capable, and supported as they grow.

Mindfulness in Action
Hands-on making helps children slow down, focus attention, and stay present.

  • Empowerment Through Effort
    Progress is valued over perfection, encouraging confidence through trying, learning, and improving.

  • Validation & Belonging
    Each child is seen and encouraged, fostering psychological safety and positive peer connection.

  • Leading by Example
    Facilitators model patience, kindness, and positive self-talk, reinforcing healthy social and emotional habits.
