Arts & Crafts, Games and AR Literacy
Art allows kids to develop their creativity which is important throughout their lives. By doing something creative, you allow for self-expression and this lets children express their feelings and emotions. Arts and crafts also fosters mental growth in children by providing opportunities for trying out new ideas, new ways of thinking and problem-solving. Art and craft activities give children a sense of achievement and allow them to take pride in their work which builds confidence. Making art is a great, safe way to discover that it’s okay to make mistakes and that getting through hurdles can lead you to a whole new idea.
