Well, it’s super simple! They’re low-key activities, usually quick to prep, that require a variety of “one-theme” materials. Arranging the materials so they’re all visible helps children use their imagination and come up with creative ideas.

What is my child learning and improving?
- Creativity + Imagination (kids have great imagination and are full of creativity and this activity provokes them to express their creativity as well as use their imagination)
- Fine motor skills (grasping, holding, picking up small pieces of grass, flowers, twigs, etc.)
- Independency (this activity will keep little ones busy for a while, also making this activity perfect for quiet times, time-outs or if you need to some things around the house while the kids stay busy)
- Focus + Concentration (having only a certain availability of materials kids are able to use, keeps their mind focused instead of making their interests scattered)
