It is incredible seeing the changes in their visions over time and how their though process changes.

Yes the face painting was her ‘trying’ to get control of the brush. haha ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/how-arts-and-crafts-benefit-children/#comment-156761 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 08:50:13 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7670#comment-156761 Oh, I love the creative artwork on the face!! Very expressive. Haha. I love art for kids and yet I find myself avoiding it at home because of the mess. I must get into it more.

I’ve been getting into myself again recently – amazing how good for the mind it is and for all the development of those neural pathways! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/how-arts-and-crafts-benefit-children/#comment-156711 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 20:44:40 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7670#comment-156711 I love crafts! There have been a couple of saturday mornings, while we are still in our pj’s that Zach has asked to paint! I never say no now because I think it’s so important to let them create. We have so many paintings (that look a lot like those you’ve included above!). I just love his artwork and it’s wonderful to see how it’s changing as he gets a little older each time! Thanks so much for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/how-arts-and-crafts-benefit-children/#comment-156663 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 11:37:19 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7670#comment-156663 While I do not like the mess, I love the smiles on their faces and the fact they are gaining skills while having fun. It won’t be too long before you will have a paint covered little one! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/how-arts-and-crafts-benefit-children/#comment-156662 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 11:33:28 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7670#comment-156662 haha yes she had just finished painting my arms and took to her face. Lol. Apparently her paper wasn’t big enough! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/how-arts-and-crafts-benefit-children/#comment-156661 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 11:30:00 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7670#comment-156661 I figure worst case the kids can paint each other and as long as they are having fun, I’m ok with it! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/how-arts-and-crafts-benefit-children/#comment-156659 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 08:15:32 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7670#comment-156659 I am so terrible at craft but I plough on trying to do one arts & craft activity each day with my little girl precisely for these reasons #twinklytuesday ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/how-arts-and-crafts-benefit-children/#comment-156657 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 06:35:37 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7670#comment-156657 Love crafts with the smallies, hate the mess!
