Although they require your time and a little skill, Crafts with children are a very rewarding activity thanks to which the little ones learn a lot and have fun creating.
The crafts offer us the opportunity to share precious time with our children, unique moments from which, in addition, a beautiful memory will come out. Of course, we have to face the crafts as a fun game and with a lot of patience.
Because we have to keep in mind that something that for us can be as simple as trimming, for children it is an achievement, and the little ones will not be able to do it without our help (and with special scissors for children).
In any case, even with the little ones we can make our first steps, the crafts help them to develop fine motor skills. As they grow older, manual labor can become more complex, and they will take a more active part.
Cut, paste, color, use the punch ... are some of the activities that children will be doing with increasing ease. The resulting crafts can be a good option to decorate your room, to participate in school projects, as a gift, for congratulations ... Yes, some results will be "endearing" only for dad and mom.
So that there is no setback, we must use materials suitable for children and appropriate for the child's age. Remember that school supplies are sometimes defective or dangerous. We have to give them the task that they can perform and help them or let them help us in those that have not yet.
For example, we put the glue and they distribute the cotton chips or legumes ... to make a picture-collage; or they cut the drawing "gross mode" and then we perfect the cut following the silhouette ...
Remember also to choose the right time to sit with the children to do crafts, when they are rested and they feel like it. And also when we feel like it, because otherwise we are not likely to enjoy the activity and they notice, we want to end too soon, we lose patience ...
In short, considering these simple tips we will enjoy making crafts with our children. Even they, when they go to school, will teach us new "techniques", because they usually do very nice jobs and they will love to repeat those crafts they have already done.
