Comprehension

•According to art therapist Anna Reywsner, the fine arts can improve children's comprehension skills. Children who draw pictures or create art activities after reading a story retain the information longer because the children are actively involved in the lesson. •These activities can help them to remember the material that they have been taught.

arts curricula found that

All countries had well defined curricula for

each of the disciplines of art as part of

compulsory education.

No country included literature within its arts

curricula.

If you're learning a craft for the first time, start

with something extra-simple to get the feel of the

tools, materials, and techniques.

If the project is relatively easy, your child will gain

confidence and quickly want to try something more

challenging.

Craft for the under-5s•At this age, craft is more about passing the time

when it’s too rainy to go to the park, but it’s a

great way to engage your pre-Schooler, toddler or

baby in ideas that provide foundation for future

learning.

make individual decisions and choices.
