What is my child learning?
-Creativity + imagination + cognitive skills (as they reveal their sceneries, kids can think, predict and wonder about what it can be)
-Small + fine motor skills (holding on to the paint brush with pointer finger and thumb)
-Concentrated play (having a single activity lined up for the child helps them stay focused and put all their attention towards one activity)
