Crafting can strengthen hand muscles. So, they will be great at playing computer games or other important school activities like handwriting. So get out the glue, play dough, and scissors. And don't forget to provide lots of things to cut – just not their siblings' hair.

Now show off what your child has made and increase their confidence. Self-esteem is very helpful for excelling in school. When your child tells you about their project, they are practicing communication. This is essential for school and beyond.

Think math and science when you cut shapes, measure, mix colors or make something new. But we won't tell the kids that crafting is anything but fun.

So you see, crafting for kids is serious business. Who ever thought that having fun could help develop the three R's of reading, writing, and arithmetic?
But, we would rather just create. So many options, what will we do?
