Jill Englebright Fox, Ph.D., and Stacey Berry, M.Ed., who write for EarlyChildhoodNews.com, say that when young children complete artwork, they have a feeling of accomplishment and an understanding of the use of the supplies.
Another benefit of art activies for preschoolers is the development of fine-motor skills. When young children manipulate scissors, playdoe, and other mediums the small muscles in the hand are being used that will later be needed for writing and other more precise tasks.
Sensory skills can also be developed with art exploration. As children handle pattern shapes like triangles, squares, and rectangles, they are building a foundation for later math skills.
But how can the busy mom provide these quality art activities for her young child?
Well, there is hope and a store available that does just that.
