After School Crafting Clubs

Our after school Crafting clubs are for primary school and can run for up to 12 weeks. Each week children will do different crafting project which they get to take home. 

Why have an After School Craft Club?

Each week children will work on a project which they will get to take home. See projects below.

After School Craft clubs encourages creativity, develops minds, build self confidence and gives children the opportunity to use their imaginations. It helps them learn to solve problems, and it could lay the groundwork for a lifetime of interest in art.

Crafting teaches kids to follow directions which is a very basic skill, but we all know adults who can't seem to follow directions. When kids craft, they learn the consequences of not following directions when their projects do not turn out as expected. This instils the importance of doing things the right way the first time.

For children, crafting is fabulous for learning basic skills. All crafts promotes hand-eye coordination. 

Passive activities such as watching TV do little to encourage conversation with your children. Crafting is a wonderful way of opening up communications between parents and their children who get to take home their completed projects.They will not only want to show you but also tell about what they have made. This is a wonderful opportunity to opens up discussion about school and how they are doing. 

It’s wonderful for kids to be active, but there are times when they need to calm down. Crafting is a great way for children to wind down before going home. Crafting engages kids’ minds, giving them something to focus on and a good reason to sit still for a while.

Creating things is a confidence booster. Parents who craft regularly know the feeling of accomplishment when their project is complete. Multiply this feeling by ten, and you have a pretty good idea of how your child feels when he makes something. For kids, crafting really helps build positive self-esteem.

Kids working on a project together is a great way to teach the importance of teamwork.This will help them develop skills needed to resolve disputes peacefully and effectively. It will also help them discover their strengths and teach them that doing their best will make the entire project turn out better.
