Throughout our lives, we can observe that crafts are a widely used tool in preschool. However, handicrafts are not only crucial for human beings but a need. Humans have managed to dominate their environment thanks to their creativity. That allows a timely response to need. That’s why it is essential to develop and stimulate children’s imagination. An excellent strategy to do so is to encourage manual work with children.

Many people tend to think that it is only about gluing, cutting, and coloring with children when it comes to handicrafts. Through handicrafts, boys and girls develop their cognitive (intelligence) skills because handcrafts awaken the senses, leading to acquiring new knowledge.

Children can see and understand the world around them and communicate more assertively with their environment. Crafts are a non-verbal language used to express emotions.

When we are thinking of developing activities with children, we must bear in mind that we won’t improvise with children no matter how easy these may become. It is essential to have an environment where experiential learning is active on the children’s side.

Let us remember that our job, as parents and educators, is to create an appropriate setting in which children are motivated to create. These easy crafts for kids activities should be attractive to children, but this does not mean that they should be easy. Children should be encouraged to overcome new challenges and test their skills.
