Arts & Crafts

Engaging children in arts and crafts is a wonderful way to stimulate their creativity, problem solving skills, fine motor skills. This board features arts and crafts that use a wide variety of media (crayons, markers, paints, pastels, chalks, tape, clay, etc.). I also favor open-ended arts and crafts projects that give kids leeway to create as they see fit rather than trying to do a project the one "right" way.
