A switch device 10 comprises a first conductor 14a to be attached to a surface of a fabric 16, a non-conductive spacer 20 to be attached in a position substantially over the first conductor 14a, an aperture or cutaway 22 through the spacer 20 which is aligned with the first conductor 14a beneath, and a second conductor 14b to be attached to an upper surface of the spacer 20 in a position over the aperture or cutaway 22. Depression of the second conductive element 14b at the position of the aperture or cutaway 22, causes electrical contact between the first and second conductors 14a,14b. The conductors can be lengths of conductive thread that can be stitched to the textile. The spacer can be a fabric such as a felt pad and have a circular aperture and self-adhesive backing for attaching it to the fabric. The first conductor can be a battery 26 and the conductors can be connected to first and second terminals of an electrical device such as a LED 24. A textile kit for children can comprise a battery, an electrically operated device, conductive thread, an insulating spacer and one or more fabrics.
