How does art help child development?
Through creative art, children may be able to represent experiences.
Creating art relieves stress, encourages creative thinking, increases brain plasticity and increased serotonin levels.
Children’s creativity is appreciated by their peers and teachers, we help them feel valued as people, raising self esteem.
They may draw images out of proportion, exaggerating things important to them.
