These activities also create opportunities to discuss familiar animal names and basic features such as wings, tails and fins.
Benefits of Art and Craft for Nursery Children
Creative activities provide opportunities to practise hand-eye coordination, fine motor movements and visual observation. They also encourage imagination, experimentation and self-expression.
