Benefits of Arts & Crafts for Kids

Arts & Crafts Improve Coordination

Children carry out art and craft projects using both hands, normally in a controlled and purposeful manner.

This helps develop their bilateral coordination, improves their fine motor skills, which will have the added benefit of helping them with daily activities like doing up buttons and tying their shoelaces, etc.

Arts & Crafts Develop Fine Motor Skills

Fine motor skills are the small movements, controlling hands and fingers when picking up a small object like a pen, fork or spoon.

Similar to coordination, yet fine motor skills are on a micro-level, and when children carry out arts and crafts they are strengthening muscles and tendons in their little hands, and developing the muscle memory to communicate what they are doing from thought to action.

Arts & Crafts Improve Visual Processing

Cognitive development is very important in a child’s early years.

Identifying primary colours and mixing to produce new shades of colour, shape recognition and completing an art and craft project boost children’s visual processing capabilities.

Arts & Crafts Encourage Creativity

Arts and crafts are a great way for children to express themselves.

A child’s imagination has no limits and arts and crafts enable kids to explore their imagination in a constructive way.

Having fun with arts and crafts encourage children to be innovative and creative with their projects, choosing colours and techniques that suit their style!

Arts & Crafts Improve Problem Solving Skills

When doing arts and crafts kids are presented with options, like which colours to use, how to stick the head of a bobble head bug to the body and which shapes make up the petals of a flower; all of which promote good problem solving skills.

And for kids the importance of promoting good problem solving skills in a planned and controlled environment cannot be understated. Good problem solving skills also improve executive functioning, which includes focusing attention, controlling impulses and using working memory.

These skills guide planned behavior and are very predictive of later professional and academic success.
