Importance of Craft & Handwork for Children
“Human beings exposed to meaningful Handwork from a young age are more likely to have a sense of fulfillment, a sense of true purpose in their work later in life. In today’s world of technology and high focus on “head work”, Handwork provides the balancing element which the more intellectual activities require if the development of the child is to be a harmonious one. The process of working meticulously with their hands, using different materials and colors, and creating unique and beautiful products, develops in children an ability to persevere, to appreciate the beauty and strive for perfection, to imagine and create, thus strengthening their Will and preparing them for realities of Life.”
