Art, crafts, and calligraphy provide many benefits for children's development. Art helps children create and reflect on their own work while responding thoughtfully to others' art. It also helps children develop personal and social skills like confidence and creativity. Crafts are engaging activities for young children and provide a foundation for future learning. For older children, crafts encourage imagination and independence. Calligraphy is a visual art related to writing that can improve children's handwriting and develop their artistic and creative skills.

material that they have been taught.

with something extra-simple to get the feel of the
tools, materials, and techniques.

confidence and quickly want to try something more
challenging.
