Beyond the creativity, arts and crafts play an important role in developing fine motor skills. Tasks like cutting with scissors or holding crayons help strengthen the small muscles in children’s hands and fingers. Developing these motor skills early can help your child with future tasks like:
- Writing
- Tying shoes
- Buttoning clothes
By engaging in creative activities, your child is doing more than just making something beautiful — they’re also building the coordination and dexterity they’ll need as they grow.
