- Color recognition: identifying and naming different colors of materials used
- Hand-eye coordination: using scissors to cut along lines and glue to attach pieces
- Creativity: using imagination to create unique designs and patterns
- Following directions: listening and following instructions to complete the craft
- Problem-solving: figuring out how to fix mistakes or adjust designs
Encourage continued development by providing a variety of materials for crafting, such as different types of paper, stickers, and glitter. Allow the child to experiment with different techniques, such as folding and cutting paper to create 3D shapes. Encourage them to use their imagination and create their own designs, rather than following a set pattern or template.
