Benefits of Crafting with Kids
Brain Development: Arts and crafts engage multiple brain areas simultaneously and improve bilateral coordination between the left and right sides of the brain, leading to immediate and future cognitive development.
Improve Motor Skills: Activities like arts and crafts accelerate the development of muscles in the hands and fingers, improving fine motor skills that are essential for school success in the earliest formal years.
Social Development: Arts and crafts promote rich social interactions that help develop language skills and social cognitive abilities like understanding emotions. Creative activities are also a great way to bond with children and create lasting memories.
