Did you know that exposure to Arts and Craft is one of the best ways to boost a child’s creativity. Keeping our children busy and stimulated means that we’re always looking for interesting activities for them to do. So, with it being the June School Holidays we’ve decided to dedicate this month’s post to encouraging creativity in children by using Arts and Craft.
You may be surprised to read that all age groups, can benefit from spending time engaging with interesting DIY craft projects. By providing the opportunity and space for children to work with their hands can result in the following benefits:
- Ignites imagination;
- Develops creativity;
- Enhances motor skills;
- Promotes critical thinking;
- Provides a sense of accomplishment;
- Boosts self-esteem;
- Offers a therapeutic outlet for self-expression.
Over the years our children have created some beautiful and imaginative ‘works of art’. Our most recent craft was done by our teenage girls. They created this stunning bouquet of flowers using coloured paper. This is just one example of the many interesting projects our children have completed.
