What Are The Benefits of Doing Art Projects with Kids?
I think it’s pretty common to immediately think of art when we consider little kids at school. And that’s for good reason. Art is a wonderful outlet for kids to express their feelings and emotions, spark creativity, and explore their imaginations.
On top of all of those benefits, many learning and skill-building opportunities come along with art projects for kids. Here are a few things the children will practice and learn through art:
- Decision making
- Problem solving
- Color theory
- Counting
- Color identification
- Fine motor skills
- Gross motor skills
- Symmetry
- Measurement
- Patterns
- Shapes
- Language development
- Visual perception
There are so many incredible benefits of art for kids! And this list is just the tip of the iceberg. I could go on and on about how it builds confidence, improves self-esteem, and so many other benefits. So, make sure to include both open-ended and teacher-directed art activities in your planning! You won’t regret it!
