Craft activities

What’s also really fun to do is getting creative with the children. This is not only good for their development, but it’s also a great way to get to know the child better. Children love to tinker with things, so why not put those fidgety hands to good use?

Some advantages of arts & crafts:

• It stimulates the child’s creativity and imagination
• It increases the child’s confidence
• It contributes to the development of a child’s spatial awareness
• It gives children a sense of pride when they have made something themselves
• It teaches children to work with different materials

We know that it can sometimes be hard to come up with a project to undertake with the children, so we’ve prepared some quick and simple ideas for you to have a look at on our Pinterest page. Many of the activities that we recommend involve materials that you can find at home, such as paper, scissors, pencils, paint and markers, so don’t worry about having to go out to buy special materials! The activities on our Pinterest page are also suitable for toddlers, preschoolers and older children.
