HISTORY OF CRAFTING Crafting is an ancient practice that is perhaps as old as

the human civilization itself. Archaeologists over the years have conducted excavations in different parts of the world and discovered various handmade objects of craft from different ages. Crafting reflects the culture, tradition and history of a place and lives long after the culture has undergone modern transformations.Historically, the earliest stage of crafting can be called as the one when practically every creation was a piece of craft. Every object was made with hands, using physical human skills, creativity and patience, as there was no automation or technology available to make anything mechanically.

require your child to use both of their hands

together. This skill is important in other areas of

their lives as they continue to grow, such as

writing, tying shoes, typing and so much more.

2FINE MOTOR COORDINATION-

In order to draw shapes, cut patterns, and

hand writing, your child is required to use

their fine motor coordination. These skills

similarly translate to other areas of their

lives, such as dressing ,eating, and in the

academic setting.

This is a great lesson for you child to

demonstrate self control and patience. Also, as

hoped! Crafts are a great way to promote

flexibility in your child. There is no right or

wrong way in exploring one’s own creativity!

also important to initially choose arts and crafts

that are at your child’s skill level. Completing

can add in more and more challenges.

you and creating something together.
