Crafts are an excellent way to explore your child’s imagination and spark creativity. Crafts not only are fun to make with your child, they also shape their growing minds. When children draw and use their hands to create crafts they become better thinkers and learners. The more we discover about how the brain works, the more we recognize how the imagination helps mold a child’s learning.
