Why are ABC Crafts Good?
Young kids learn better with visual aid. Visuals shake up their cognitive capabilities and imagination. Plus, it's easy to retain memories with visuals.
The kindergarten letter of the day craft can be done for any letter. It'll help kids distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters while also teaching them how to write them.
What's more, ABC crafts are creative and so much fun. They are a great way to keep children engaged.
You'll also work on the young artists' fine motor skills by encouraging them to draw, cut, and paste.
