Crafting time for creativity

Studies have shown that kids who spend time creating develop stronger self-confidence, better problem-solving skills, and lower levels of anxiety. When children engage in creative activities, they learn to express themselves, think outside the box, and navigate challenges with resilience. Encouraging creativity isn’t just about making art—it’s about building a foundation for lifelong curiosity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Giving kids the freedom to create and design in art is essential for their development, fostering creativity, confidence, and problem-solving skills. When children are encouraged to explore without rigid guidelines, they learn to express themselves, think independently, and embrace experimentation.
