How DIY Crafts for Kids improve fine motor skills

Fine motor skills are vital for school readiness at an early age

As a busy parent, I want to provide my children with many different ways to learn and develop their skills in and out of the classroom. Fine motor skills are vital for school readiness at an early age, not to mention that hand-eye coordination is essential in our everyday lives!

I’m a big believer that our DIY Crafts for kids can be fun and engaging while also helping to improve fine motor skills. There are many benefits to participating in arts and crafts, which involve the small muscles in our hands and fingers. When we do activities that require these muscles to work together, we are helping to improve the dexterity and coordination of our hands. This is important because it allows us to be more successful in tasks such as handwriting, using scissors, and manipulating small objects.

Many times, we take these skills for granted. But for a child just starting school or a toddler learning to grasp and hold things, developing fine motor skills can be quite a challenge! That’s where DIY Crafts for Kids come in! By providing children with opportunities to engage in hands-on activities, we can help them improve their fine motor skills.

We believe that any DIY Crafts for Kids can be a learning activity. There are lots of activities designed to develop essential skills, including:

Activities involving the use of scissors and glues help children learn how to see and manipulate small objects. Sewing fabric into shapes and colouring in pictures are both activities that require children to use their hands in a delicate way. Our Bookmark Mini Kit and String Art kits also help your kids to learn these skills. They require children to thread hemp string onto a needle, then through the holes, or to wrap the string around the nails they’ve carefully hammered in, helping them develop the dexterity needed for writing.

Activities such as stringing beads also greatly help children learn the fine motor skills required for handwriting. 

Our Friendship Necklace Kit helps children learn to string these beads together to create gifts for their friends, as well designing their own patterns, learn the art of sharing and giving.

Painting requires more control than crayons or markers, helping children use their hands in a more controlled way. Our Ladybird Rocks are perfect to develop this skill. These little rocks are painted with ladybirds, with the dots being added by dipping the little rod into the paint, which helps children to also learn colours, counting and allow their creativity to flow.

This activity can get a little messy from time to time, so why not take the kids outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine as they paint!

There are endless possibilities when it comes to DIY Crafts for Kids. By getting creative, parents can provide their children with opportunities to learn and improve essential skills. And, best of all, the whole family can have fun while doing it!

As a parent myself, I know that it can be hard to find the time to sit down and teach my children. That’s why DIY Crafts are so important! Having access to resources that allow me to teach topics like fine motor skills without actually teaching them is invaluable. Not only do they improve my child’s skills, but they help me to feel like I’m doing something good for them.

We at Poppy & Daisy believes in the importance of family time and engagement. We provide parents with fun, creative, and educational DIY Crafts for Kids that help improve essential skills. Our goal is to provide families with opportunities to spend quality time together while also teaching various concepts, new skills and creativity.

So, whether you’re a parent looking for ways to have fun with your kids or a teacher who wants to provide engaging opportunities for your students, DIY Crafts for Kids are the perfect solution! They’ll help improve your child’s dexterity and hand-eye coordination while also providing quality time together. 

What could be better than that?
