What are the benefits of doing art with children?
There are many benefits to doing art with children. One of the most obvious is that it helps them to develop their creativity.
Art allows children to express themselves in a way that is not possible with words, and it can help them to learn more about themselves and the world around them.
Additionally, art can help children to develop their fine motor skills and coordination. It can also improve their cognitive skills, including problem solving and critical thinking.
Finally, art can help children to build self-confidence and social skills.
What types of art materials are best for young children?
Firstly, it is important to choose materials that are safe and non-toxic.
Secondly, it is often a good idea to start with basic materials such as crayons, paper and paint. These can be used to create simple drawings and paintings.
As children get older, they can move on to more complex materials such as modelling clay or fabric.
Ultimately, it is up to the child to decide what they enjoy most and what they are most comfortable working with.
