6 Reasons Why Arts and Crafts Are Crucial For Your Child’s Development
“Art must be life — it must belong to everybody.” – Marina Abramovic.
Here's six crucial reasons why arts and crafts are crucial for your child’s development:
1. Fine Motor Skills
When kids use their hands and fingers to engage in arts and crafts activities, they develop their fine motor skills using those tiny muscles in their hands. 

This is because these projects give them the chance to learn how to grasp and control various materials such as pencils, markers, crayons, paintbrushes, and other handheld tools. 

Later, they will use these fine motor movements for dressing, feeding, and handwriting in school. Their coordination skills also improve as they simultaneously learn to use both hands.

 And guess what? Kids enjoy these activities to the fullest.

2. Creativity
What we love best about arts and crafts is the fact that the creative possibilities are limitless. 

There are simply no limits to a little one's imagination.

For kids, arts and crafts are an excellent way to turn their endless imagination into an activity more productive and creative.

They might even bring to light a fun hobby, like drawing or painting, that can later become a lucrative career. Who knows?

3. Confidence, Self-Esteem, and Patience
A recent study finds that kids who paint, draw, play music, or read more often feel better about themselves. 

Arts and craft activities give kids a sense of achievement as they participate in their work and build confidence.

Arts and craft raise their self-esteem and confidence and make them more intelligent. 

They get to discover that it’s okay to make mistakes. That at times, getting things ‘wrong’ can lead you to a whole new idea. 

Generally, arts and crafts should be used as a vehicle to help children develop, be creative, and feel good about themselves.

Building your child’s confidence and self-esteem is essential to helping them grow both physically and emotionally into healthy, well-rounded adults. 
4. Literacy
It is no surprise that fun activities and crafts help promote reading in toddlers and young children. Early child literacy skills include speaking and reading, listening, and understanding. 

For example, when kids make art or crafts, they talk about their work, developing their communication skills. Also, asking kids things like "What made you choose that color?" or "Tell me more about what you made." helps them gain awareness of what they're doing and communicate this awareness verbally.

As parents, we want our kids to start listening to us, so this is a skill we want them to grasp as early as possible.
5. Math Concepts
“Go down deep enough into anything and you will find mathematics.” ~Dean Schlicter
If parents help their kids realize this fact, we can help them discover the beauty of math. For a fact, we know how daunting math can be as a subject. 

So why not use this as an exciting blend of explaining a relatively tricky subject like Math with the use of creative Art and Craft? In arts and crafts, kids learn about and recognize different shapes, count and sort out their art supplies and even measure out lengths and sizes of art materials.

6. Child-Parent Bonding
Being a parent can be termed as one of the most challenging roles. 

But no matter, at the end of the day, it still boils down to the kind of relationship every parent has with their child. Since kids too love to spend time with their parents, what's a better way than doing some arts and crafts together!

Use the crafting time to bond with your kid. You two can talk about what you are making and discuss different ideas on making other crafts—the more potent the parent-child relationship, the better the upbringing. 

Arts and Craft activities make it so much easier.
