Christmas is an important and memorabledate we love to share with our beloved ones. In fact, there is not a better opportunity for children to give a present made by themselves. Making crafts will allow children to give their families a beautiful gift. Still, they will also feel happy and proud of themselves when making those gifts because they realize they can create with their hands.

When children make handcrafts, they receive tons of mental and physical benefits. Although stress can be felt at any age, these kinds of activities are intended to be stress-free. Children also enhance their hand-brain coordination as the brain is structuring and ordering thoughts.

Through crafts, children develop their creativity and ability to solve problems; that is, it helps improve boys' and girls' intelligence. That's why so many manual activities are carried out in the kindergarten, as it is a learning strategy.

When doing manual activities, children can work with different materials. This will help them to perceive and identify textures. Similarly, this allows us to teach children about the importance of recycling and the new use that we can give our materials. How beautiful and essential it is that children can make a work of art with their own hands and at the same time take care of the planet. That's the ideal opportunity to promote crafts in children.
