Why get crafty?
Art activities are not only fun but also aid your little one's...
- Creativity
- Concentration
- Self-expression
- Decision making
- Hand-eye coordination
- Sensory awareness
- Self-esteem
- Hand muscle strength (which leads to readiness to write in a few years)
These art activities for infants can be either indoors or outdoors. The willingness to learn is very high in toddlers as they are very excited to see new and interesting things of life.
Crafting with toddlers can be fun and rewarding. There are just a few simple rules when working with toddlers and preschoolers:
First of all keep in mind their short attention span so plan your projects accordingly.
Kids crafts that take no more than 15 minutes are appropriate for this age.
Toddlers wiggle a LOT. Take this in to consideration. Plan for it, enjoy it, and include it in what you are doing.
In this age childrens skill levels vary greatly. Someone who just turned three will not have the ability of a child who is almost four.
But the most important thing is that EVERYONE has fun!
