With the advent of a new member in the family, the habitual way of life of parents often changes radically. The crumb grows, first pleasing us with the first smiles , funny sounds, growing teeth, and then the cots and strollers are not enough for him - new places for exploring the world are needed. The desire of the child to make the first in life little steps, of course, for parents is an important event. But it is from this moment that the first difficulties appear, because the kid is still quite insecure, and any obstacle in the form of a threshold thrown on the floor of toys or pillows is a real obstacle. Fall at this age can not be avoided. However, there is one means by which you will manage to keep your knees crumbs unscathed. It's about children's knee pads for crawling - a novelty that is not so widely available on the market yet.
What are the knee pads for?
Learning about the existence of knee pads for kids, many will be surprised: why buy them, because somehow the children learned to crawl and walk without this device? Of course, knee pads can not be called an obligatory purchase, but what kind of mother will like knitted knees, tattered pantyhose and sliders?
In addition, that the knee pads are the saving of delicate skin for the creeping baby, they also save the time of the mom, which is spent on darning the tights that are rubbing against the floor covering. There are models of knee pads with silicone (latex, rubber) inserts. The fall in them will do without bruises and injuries, since the protective inserts create the effect of depreciation. Use this accessory is possible and as an additional warming. If you put knee pads on your toddler under a jumpsuit, then you have to worry about whether he was frozen in the snow on his knees and will not. Do not forget about the aesthetic function: if you buy or sew with your own hands unusual knee pads for kids, then the attention of others is assured.
We sew fashionable and functional accessory
And now about how to sew the knee pads for the child yourself. We need ... socks! The most common socks, or rather, their part. Even have a sewing machine is not necessary, because you can sew and manually.
To begin with, pick up socks, with a tight elastic band, which will stick on the leg of the crumbs, but it will not squeeze the skin too much. Then cut the bottom of each sock. The part should turn out to be a curved shape - just in accordance with the anatomical curve of the child's legs. It remains only to process the edges with the help of a hidden seam. If this edge seems too loose for you, and on the child's leg "sits" loosely, you can sew a rubber band.

For boys, for example, it will be interesting to wear knee pads with applications in the form of cars, soccer balls, stars, and various images of floral themes and pupae will appeal to girls.
