Children’s Art Week
It’s Children’s Art Week, a time to encourage children and families to take part in fun, creative activities that they might not have tried before. Here at Gymboree Play & Music we know that dabbling in a bit of painting, collage, sculpting or drama benefits children’s cognitive, social and physical development.
- Develops confidence – in working on their own or with others on an art-related task and seeing the outcome helps give children a sense of achievement.
- Problem-solving ability – art classes help to stimulate thought process by challenging little ones to produce an outcome from the materials and tools at their disposal. It develops decision-making.
- Builds focus & perseverance – taking part in art activities requires attention and concentration in order to create. And sometimes, not quite succeeding.
- Social development – by sharing an activity and a space with their peers, little ones develop a stronger sense of others, building their empathy and emotional intelligence.
- Communication skills – before they have honed and developed language skills, art offers an outlet of self-expression for babies and toddlers.
- Bonding time – by spending uninterrupted time together being creative and sharing a mini project develops emotional connections and closeness.
