Art and Craft Activities in Preschool

Arti it's so nice of you to actually think about such issues as it clearly point it out that you would love to figure out worth of things in the core curriculum to understand their significance. To put it simply I would point out that ART and CRAFT activities are crucial for development of right brain which is highly creativity oriented so art and craft is almost essential for nurturing creativity, moreover they go a long way in developing crucial skills like hand and eye co-ordination, fine motor muscles and skills, moreover it provides an excellent medium to boost learning in a fun way :)

Very nice way of teaching Shikha
