Little girls love fairies while little boys love dinosaurs. What more if they come in a colourful, candy-coloured cotton bags with an illustrated story booklet that actually doubles as an instructional material. Looby Lou's Little Art Collection is sure to send a sense of joy to children aged 3 years and up. They will enjoy creating a picture of their favourite design using their own little hands. There is just something with letting children work on arts and crafts. Craft activities help them stimulate their imagination and their creativity, not to mention, it also keeps them away from boredom for a few hours. Creative craft ideas can hone children's social skills, fine motor skills, creative and visual spatial skills, and believe it or not, vocabulary skills. Creative crafts help a child in learning appropriate play and talk through observation and modelling. Since most crafts need cutting, drawing, colouring and pasting, children learn better to hold pencils, crayons and scissors correctly. Eventually, they would develop good muscle control when performing these activities. Perhaps, the most obvious benefit that arts and crafts have to offer is creative development. Children learn to make creative choices, will be able to use their imagination while following simple task-related instructions. Moreover, they will develop the skill to transfer the image they have in mind to a physical one using their hands and utilizing the materials on hand. Another skill they would learn is attention to details. Silk ribbons, threads, fabrics, net, leaves, buttons, sparkles and metal washers used as decorative pieces can hone a child's attention to details. You might ask how arts and crafts can increase a child's vocabulary. Simple, in order to complete the task, parents and teachers need to have a discussion with children. Through this discussion, children learn various new terms as well as verbal problem solving skills as mirrored by their parents and teachers. The benefits do not end there as children's crafts can also assist their skills in visual and verbal planning, their concentration skills and their focus on completion of tasks. Another important skill, which they can use in the future, is the skill of persistence. Regardless of any setbacks, tasks need to be seen to completion in order to gain fruits of their labour. Fairies, dinosaurs and cupcakes, not all people realize their importance in experiencing self-worth through success. The best part of giving a child a Looby Lou design art kit lies in its simplicity in completing the task. Letting your child got through the "Looby Lou Little Art experience" will open their eyes to the wonderful world of arts and crafts at such an early age.
