Coloring and Crafts Day

The benefits of arts and crafts for kids

• Fine motor skills. Enhancing children’s hand eye co-ordination and building levels of manual dexterity.
• Identification of shapes, colour and texture. Working with materials teaches them about colours, shapes and textures. … 
• Creativity.
• Art and craft activities give kids a sense of achievement and allow them to take pride in their work which builds confidence. … Kids get to try new things and also develop their “self-regulation skills” (e.g. when waiting for paint or glue to dry). This helps them develop patience, which all kids need help with!
