Jewelry Making Benefits For Kids

few days back, my friend suggested that i do some research about how jewelry making hobby can benefit growing children. As we all know, art and craft is always one of the subjects in every school education module. why is that so?  i have not gone into depth with regards to this but what i have found so far has definitely made me glad that i have been doing craftwork with my kids as young as they were 3 years old!

My kids enjoy making jewelry and ever since i started teaching them the more creative part of wire working jewelry, they have become more and more creative beyond my expectation. just shows that there is no age boundary to creativity and skill. Children are like sponges. they will absorb everything we teach them and lets just instill good positive ones and hope it will stay on with them and pass on to future generations to come.

so with whatever little information i have manage to "google" so far, let me share some with you.
