Creative Arts and Crafts
Arts and crafts are fantastic for fostering creativity and motor skills. Our babysitters are prepared with a variety of arts and craft projects that are age-appropriate and engaging. Whether it’s painting, drawing, or making simple crafts, these activities not only stimulate creativity but also give children a sense of accomplishment when they see the final product of their work.
- Activity Idea: Create a nature collage. Collect leaves, sticks, and flowers from the garden and use them to make a collage. This activity combines creativity with an opportunity to learn about nature and the environment.
