Preschool crafts help bring out your child’s creative side!

When your child was a baby, she used her hands to explore the world. She’d grasp rattles, key or whatever was within reach to help her understand her environment. But now that she’s a preschooler, she’s probably ready to try her hand at a much different fine-motor activity: crafts!

Around the age of three, many children begin to take an interest in creating their own crafts. Preschool crafts should be relatively simple projects, involving supplies you can find around the house. When tackling any preschool arts and crafts project, it’s important for parents to supply age-appropriate materials for their children, like round-edge safety scissors, and supervise them while they work.
