Winter is raging in parts of the country and it’s a great time to get your child involved indoors with creative play. Projects are a great way to teach your child the necessary steps, skills and rewards of working on something that takes a little time to complete. The concept of delayed gratification is an important one to begin to reinforce with all children — and a lesson that will serve them throughout their lives.
Most kids need to develop some patience and perseverance and play projects can give them the necessary motivation to navigate all the stages to completion. One product that serves this role and other developmental objectives is, My Friendship Bracelet Maker, by Crorey Creations, Inc.
It’s great when a play project can “dual task” as far as developmental lessons it delivers and this one carries a healthy dose. Here’re the major ones:
- Keeps little hands & minds busy
- Encourages artistic expression
- Delivers a lesson in patience
- Allows for a shared experience with family or friends
- Focuses on counting and concentration
- Develops sequential thought processes
- Helps to make choices
- Works on hand-eye coordination
- Fosters ability to pay attention
- Contributes to manual dexterity
Not only are bracelets “in” this season, they’re also wearable art. Getting to put on a specially designed bracelet or the joy of giving it as a gift can push your child to devote the time. Throughout the project be sure to encourage them and pump up the thrill of expectation as they move through this creative craft.
