Why Crafting is Important for Children

Crafting is not only a fun activity, but also promotes children's development. Fine motor skills are enhanced through cutting, gluing, and decorating. These skills are essential for learning to write later on and for general hand-eye coordination. In addition, creative activities stimulate the imagination, strengthen concentration, and allow children to express their emotions.

Working with paper and small details, in particular, helps to train patience and precision. The sense of achievement after completing a crafting project boosts self-confidence and motivates children to take on new challenges.
