Children's arts & crafts.

[CreationStation]

If you're undecided about whether you should come along to a Creation Station session, take a look at this list of some of the valuable skills your child learns through art and crafts.

The confidence to cope with a blank piece of paper and fill it with something good (a great skill when faced with an English essay in years to come!).

The confidence to make mistakes and move on: 'that didn't work out, I'll start again'.

Finding solutions to problems - 'It doesn't look like a dog but if I give it big teeth and horns I can turn it into a monster'.

A way of explaining to themselves their place in the world, their relationship with their surroundings and the things that happen to them: 'This is me, this is my Mummy, this is my Daddy and this is my rabbit'.

Attention to detail: the beauty of nature and of colours, shades and textures - how many different greens are there in your garden?
