I moved house just over 3 years ago with 3 kids in tow, & so it’s easy for me to understand why moving house is consistently ranked as one of the most stressful life events. A complex process of change, strain & emotional upheaval which can induce anxiety, lack of sleep & arguments with loved ones.

For children then, it’s also easy to understand how moving to a new house can be an exciting yet challenging experience. Adjusting to a new environment, making new friends, and settling into a new routine are just a few of the changes they face. At Cotton Twist, we understand the importance of making this transition smoother, which is why we offer a range of housewarming gifts for kids that are not only fun but also help them feel at home from day one.

One of the key ways to help children settle into their new space is by creating a welcoming and personalised environment. Our kits allow children to decorate their new room with handmade accessories, fostering a sense of ownership and pride in their space.

Settling into a New Home

Moving home can impact children in various ways. From the excitement of exploring new rooms to the uncertainty of leaving familiar surroundings, emotions can run high during this time. Our Gratitude Chart makes a thoughtful housewarming gift for kids, encouraging them to express what they’re thankful for as they settle into their new environment. This simple yet meaningful activity fosters positivity and helps children focus on the good things in their new home, making them feel more connected and grounded.

Personalised Touches

Adding personal touches to their new bedroom can significantly ease the transition for children. A great way to add a personalised touch to their space is with our Make Your Own Stitched Banner. This craft kit allows kids to create a unique, colourful door hanger that will make their room feel more like their own. It’s a fun, hands-on project that encourages creativity and gives children something to be proud of as they decorate their new space.

Our Make Your Own Dreamcatcher Craft Kit is another brilliant option as a housewarming gift for kids and helping children feel at home. This activity provides a calming and creative outlet as they use the watercolour pencils & threads to build their own dreamcatcher, and it’s perfect for hanging in their bedroom as a personal touch. This kit, along with our Pastel Watercolour Pencils Set, allows kids to explore their creativity and express themselves through art, making their new room a space that truly reflects who they are.

Supporting Emotional Wellbeing 

Moving to a new home can also bring a range of emotions, and helping children navigate these feelings is essential. Our Feelings Chart is a great tool for encouraging open communication about their emotions. Whether they're excited, anxious, or a little bit of both, the chart helps kids express their feelings and provides a safe space to talk about their experiences.

At Cotton Twist, we believe in nurturing creativity, emotional well-being, and a sense of belonging through our thoughtfully designed housewarming gifts for kids. Whether you’re celebrating a move or looking to make a new house feel like home, our products are designed to inspire, delight, and support young minds.
