Art allows your child to master those skills in a fun and creative way. Grasping crayons, chalk, pencils, markers, and paintbrushes help your child practice grasping, holding, and utilizing tools in much the same way they would while writing. Even finger-painting teaches them important control over their extremities.

It is no secret to parents that kids love art. As soon as toddlers can grasp a crayon their little hands, they are busy scribbling away on coloring pages, and sometimes even the nearest wall or door! As kids get older, the level of artistic ability grows with them.
