Managing my daughter’s “screen time” is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do as a parent.
These days, limiting my kids’ cell phone usage is virtually impossible — particularly when they’re involved in after-school activities. However, when my eldest daughter moved from grade school to junior high, she spent every spare minute glued to her phone. It was ridiculous!
At first, I thought, “Well, she’s a kid — and that’s just what kids do.”
But as time went on, I started noticing changes in her behavior.
She stopped drawing. She stopped writing in her journal. She stopped shooting hoops in the driveway. Honestly, she stopped talking — at dinner time, she was constantly scrolling through her phone.
Everything that once made her this spunky, creative kid full of light… seemingly vanished overnight. She had absolutely zero hobbies or interests other than staring mindlessly at her phone.
That’s when I started talking to a group of moms that had kids in my daughter’s class. In our homes, we were ALL fighting the same losing battle. Endless screen time was causing our kids to become lethargic, anxious, and self-conscious — one TikTok video at a time.
I knew I couldn’t just take my daughter’s phone away cold turkey. She wasn’t being punished, after all. I just wanted her to find a creative, relaxing outlet that could help her safely unwind after a long day of studying.
Then, one day, one of the other mothers told me about The Woobles — a crochet kit for beginners. She said she got it for her daughter, and it helped cut down on screen time immensely.
Yes, that’s right… I said crocheting! This relaxing hobby is apparently making a comeback, and for good reason. Crocheting is an excellent hobby — and it’s even healthy. A recent study found that knitting and crocheting help people relax, decrease stress, and decrease anxiety.1
Figuring I had absolutely NOTHING to lose, I bought it for my 15-year-old daughter.
You guys… I can’t believe it, but she absolutely LOVED it!
The Woobles is a “fail-proof” crochet starter kit designed for beginners.
Each kit gives you everything you need to create your own Wooble animal, from start to finish:
Together, these innovative teaching tools make The Woobles the hands-down easiest way for anyone to learn to crochet. It’s genius!
It seems like such a simple concept, but my daughter immediately latched onto The Woobles. She followed the instructions on her own and was able to create something tangible to hold in her hands in just a few hours.
When my daughter put the finishing touches on her Wooble (she chose Pierre the Penguin), she ran into the dining room screaming, “Check it out — I did it!” She was so proud of her creation.
Crocheting was the first relaxing activity that kept my daughter’s eyes off her phone and laptop for more than 10 minutes. She’s kept up with it too — she says crocheting helps her unwind after a long day a lot better than her phone does. And since her eyes are on her project (not her screens), it’s a great project for her to do before bed.
Using The Woobles could not be easier! After all, it was invented by a former Google User Experience Manager — a woman whose job was literally to make things easy and enjoyable for people.
All your child has to do is open their crochet kit and follow the simple instructional videos. As I mentioned, each project’s “starting point” is marked with stitch markers, so your child knows exactly where to begin — and since their pre-started Wooble doesn’t ever unravel, your child literally can’t fail!
The fact that The Woobles is so easy and fun has boosted my daughter’s confidence — she’s extremely proud of her new skill and her Wooble creations. (Side note: Can we discuss how things our grandparents used to do are now “cool” with Gen Z? My daughter’s friends are now DYING to learn how to crochet!!)
Not only did my daughter gain a sense of pride and accomplishment from learning to crochet, it also gave her something to talk about. Finally, after a year of near-silence at the dinner table, my daughter often happily shows off her latest project or gushes about how she’s teaching her friends how to crochet.
Every parent just wants their children to be happy. But helping your kids find happiness, confidence, and self-esteem in 2022 is hard.
Honestly, I’m so grateful I found The Woobles because crocheting has done wonders for my daughter. Giving her a healthy, fulfilling hobby has all sorts of benefits:
My daughter has really changed after completing her first Wooble project. She’s on her phone less, she’s opening up to us a bit more, and she even seems to have developed some trust in my recommendations, believe it or not!
In fact, she’s even promised to teach me how to crochet someday. I already know how, but I won’t tell her that 😉
After seeing how fun and easy The Woobles makes crocheting for tweens, I totally understand why the company has over a thousand 5 star reviews — and why 100,000 people have learned to crochet with The Woobles.
If you have a tween who just can’t stay away from their phone, you have to try The Woobles. It's a fun, innovative way to help your child learn a new skill, it ignites their sense of creativity and accomplishment, and it gives them a way to relax and unwind. (Also, I’m telling you that crocheting has become retro-cool again — who knew?!)
