Benefits of Crafting

Did you know that crafting has physical and emotional benefits to children? Crafts can be so beneficial to children's development. Crafting is a great way to help open kids' minds to creativity.

Working with scissors and coloring can help with their fine motor skills. The act of coloring has been shown to reduce anxiety and increase calmness.
