Fine Motor Skill Benefits:
One of the most important skills that are developed through art is fine motor development.
During art lessons, your child’s small muscles in their hands, fingers, and wrists are exercised and strengthened.
Fine Motor Skills help with feeding, grasping, buttoning, and zipping, writing drawing, and much more!
Sensory Play
Sensory play is GREAT for early brain development! When children use senses in learning, they are able to make strong connections in the brain!
Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain's pathways, which lead to the child's ability to complete more complex learning tasks.
Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction
Self-esteem and self-expression
Mastering skills, completing art projects and learning to express themselves in new ways helps kids gain confidence and perseverance.
These things also help kids come up with positive emotional responses to stressful situations. Time-dependent projects, like waiting for paint and glue to dry, encourage patience, which is tough for most kids. Concentrating on a project for long periods also develops focus and longer attention spans.
Visual processing and memory
Painting, drawing and sculpting help develop visual-spatial skills, especially in toddlers. These skills help kids analyze what they see and make choices based on visual information. Creating arts and crafts projects also assists with developing executive function, which includes working memory, mental flexibility and self-control.
Creative play and activities are a key way of developing these necessary traits. These traits guide your child’s ability to plan his or her behavior, which is essential to academic success.
