The importance of creative crafting for child development

Crafting promotes fine motor skills in children in a playful way. When children cut, glue, and fold, they train the coordination between hands and eyes and strengthen the muscles in their fingers and hands. These skills are very important later on when learning to write and in many other everyday activities.

Creative activities also stimulate mental development. They promote spatial thinking, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Through crafting together, you also get to know your child's strengths and interests better and can support them individually.

This French fries box is great for role-playing. Children can play restaurant or fast food place and develop their social skills and creativity while doing so.
