NATIONAL CHILDREN’S CRAFT DAY 14 th March

NATIONAL CHILDREN’S CRAFT DAY                 

Each year, National Children’s Craft Day on March 14th unleashes a boost of creative energy right in the middle of National Craft Month. 

The day celebrates crafting with children. By opening children’s eyes to the world of crafts, we spark their imagination, and from there, the possibilities are endless. 

Crafting can give children a sense of accomplishment as well as help build their self-esteem. As with adults, crafting reduces stress in children, too. 

Craft stores hold special classes throughout March. These classes offer a variety of opportunities for children to get involved. They also provide an opportunity for children to interact with others, learn something new, and to have fun without electronics or television. When stimulating a child’s creativity, we encourage their curiosity and use of tactile skills as well. Some of the other benefits of crafting includes:

• following directions
• improving reading comprehension
• learning independence
• overcoming mistakes
• feeling included
• mastering social skills

It doesn’t cost a lot to get a child involved with crafts. Use everyday household items for projects.
 Don’t be afraid to use recycled items such as paper towel tubes and yogurt containers. These items make excellent craft items and demonstrate repurposing.
