It will enhance their sense of worth and empathy.  \nIt is with this in mind that this book and the ideas in it were created. Please take the time to enjoy the process and be with your child.  \nWhy art?  \nArt is an essential part of childhood.  \nIt provides a language readily used by children even before they have words to say what they want to express.  \nThrough making art children can truly be self-directed learners who discover themselves, their community and their world in an open-ended activity that can also provide some parameters and structure supporting but not imposing on the child’s world.  \nFun facts about art:  \nCreating together builds trust and deepens relationships!  \nArt is a different way of communicating what is sometimes difficult to put into words.  \nArt may help your child feel understood, seen and acknowledged.  \nArt is a safe outlet for feelings such as fear, guilt, pain, rage, anger, excitement and happiness.  \nArt may give your child the opportunity to tap into their inner power.  \nArt builds on your child’s existing strength and abilities.  \nArt develops Emotional intelligence.  \nArt develops Imagination and confidence.  \nFun facts about art:  \nArt develops motor skills  \nIt requires children to use both hands and helps bilateral coordination, fine motor skills, gross motor skills and coordination.  \nArt increases a child’s ability to self-regulate  \n(things don’t always go according to plan or turn out as we hope) and while waiting for things to dry we build patience and control.  \nArt develops language  \nIt provides opportunities to share stories and even use descriptive words to discuss what is being created or talk about what feelings they are experiencing whilst they are creating.  \nArt also improves Academic Performance  \nStudies show that there is a correlation between art and other achievements. A report by Americans for the Arts states that young people who participate regularly in art activities are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, to participate in a math and science fair or to win an award for writing an essay or poem, than children who do not participate in art activities.  \nWhat we need :  \nActivity Name:  \nOur hands A4paper  \nArt materials like:  \nCrayons, texters, colour pencils-whatever you have at home will do.
