It’s
easy for kids to get lost in these arts and crafts classes. They get a little
break from the pressures of school and relationships, plus they can work on
their fine motor skills and dexterity. Bringing home a new project at the end
of class is not only rewarding, but learning a new skill is
good for their self esteem.
