How Holiday Crafts Benefit Child Development

You may notice that holiday crafting has a calming effect on your child. While FUN is one of our main objectives, we like to ensure that our activities also have a meaningful purpose. Here are some benefits of holiday crafts:

Enhances fine motor skills: Coloring, cutting, twisting, glue-ing, and other tasks are frequently included in crafts, which help kids develop their fine motor skills.
Encourages visual-processing skills: Crafting helps with pattern identification, sequence detection, and spatial rotation—all of which are necessary for reading and math.
Promotes fun and bonding: Art projects are a hit with kids of all ages, and crafting gives kids and adults a unique, creative way to connect. This one is a personal experience for me. Even if organizing a craft project looks like a lot of work initially, know that the results are well worth the effort.
Challenges executive function skills: Executive function is critical in helping children acquire planned behavior. Crafting enhances working memory and concentration. These two qualities are vital in the classroom and daily life.
Encourages imagination and creativity: Children can be imaginative and creative when they work on crafts. They can then use it in other recreational and academic tasks.
