One of the most common and memorable activities in childhood is the making of crafts. This Christmas activity leaves multiple benefits in children's lives in all their development areas; however, these are less and less used because of the modern world and digital activities for children.

Nowadays, we face very complex situations with children. It is more common to see children with diseases caused by a lack of physical activity. They spend more time in front of their video games, computers, and cell phones. This new trend affects their physical health.

Therefore, children face seriously impaired learning processes since they have slower development in the skills necessary to perform daily activities.

When boys and girls make crafts, they perform an activity that allows them to develop correctly in all dimensions. During the creation of the crafts, the children are concentrated. They must focus all their attention on the craft they are doing.

Hence, they develop their creativity to think about decorating their craft or which craft to create. They also have to solve problems during the process. It may happen that children do not know where to cut or which part of their sheet to fold, or what they must glue.

In this process, children will gradually find a solution to their problems. They strengthen their memory since they must think about what step to follow. In this way, they enhance their cognitive dimension (learning).

Once children see their craft completed, they feel safe and capable of doing many more things that improve their confidence.

Working on a craft with their parents allows them to strengthen their parental bond and learn to work in a group with a common goal.

And finally, crafts allow children to acquire skills to improve coordination because children use different materials to glue, cut, decorate, etc. Crafts undoubtedly help children strengthen their muscles and achieve precision in movements.

They also fortify the senses since children are exposed to the manipulation of materials with different textures. This is why we should not put aside the work of crafts with children since this will allow children to have a more comprehensive development.
