Parents teaching their children to make many handmade toys will create an interesting time, connecting family members. Instead, children are no longer too affected by electronic devices such as tablets, phones and video games.
Craft activities not only help children learn to think creatively but also help develop many useful life skills.
Motor skills
Craft activities require children to use their hands and fingers to cut, paste and assemble small parts. This helps develop children's fine motor skills - one of the important skills that helps children accurately control small operations such as writing, drawing...
These skills are not only useful in academic activities, but also assist in everyday life.
Creative thinking
Teaching children to love creating handmade toys will help them freely develop their rich and diverse imagination. When creating a toy by themselves, children not only have to think about how to connect the details but can freely decorate and personalize the product as they like.
This helps children learn to think creatively and flexibly, while developing problem-solving skills when faced with challenges in the process of completing a product.
Improve concentration
Creating crafts requires patience and concentration, especially when children complete complex pieces. Through the process of crafting, children learn to be patient and not give up when faced with difficulties.
The ability to concentrate and be patient are important things that children need to learn in order to develop their personality and achieve success later in life.
Teamwork skills
Creating handmade toys also helps children learn teamwork skills to easily share ideas, communicate and work together.
This skill will help children understand how to share responsibilities and learn to listen and respect the opinions of others.
Stress Relief
Craft activities are also relaxing, helping children relieve stress and anxiety after school pressure. When focusing on creativity, it will help children reduce stress in the best way.
In addition, the feeling of success when completing a product made by themselves will make children more proud and confident in themselves.
Environmental awareness
When participating in craft activities, children are often encouraged to use recycled materials such as popsicle sticks, bottle caps, old paper or other recycled materials. This helps children become more aware of protecting the environment and reusing many items to avoid waste.
Educating children about environmental protection through craft activities not only helps them become conscious people but also spreads a positive message about community responsibility and the natural environment.
