The significance of handcraft to preschool children mainly includes the following aspects:
First, exercise hands-on ability.
As the name implies, the word handcraft is a hand-based activity, so the most direct method of handcraft is to exercise hands-on ability. Every tiny part of a handmade work needs to be done bit by bit by hand, which is of great significance to preschool children.
Second, exercise the imagination, thinking ability and creativity of the brain.
The general process of manual production is that the teacher provides some pictures or physical materials to guide the children to complete the work bit by bit. But in this process, each child may create different works according to his own imagination. In the process of completing their works, they will give full play to their imagination to create. This laid the foundation for their future thinking and creativity.
Third, cultivate observation and self-confidence.
Every handmade work begins with observation, and each child's observation angle is different. Through different angles, different details, and practical activities after observation, children will eventually notice the differences of each work, and they will form a good habit of paying attention to things around them.
Self-confidence comes from the fact that children can finish a work with persistence. Handmade works need hands and brains, and they will not be made overnight, and there will be many difficulties in the middle. It is not easy for preschool children to overcome difficulties and complete a work. Children's self-confidence comes from every persistence.
Fourth, learn a skill.
Being able to finish a work independently is a gift in itself. Nowadays, quality education is emphasized, and what is important is children's all-round development and versatility.
Fifth, it can increase the fun of children's lives.
Learned to make by hand, when children have nothing to do, they can be arranged to make by hand. The child will be very happy, because this is not only a handcraft for her, but also an approval for her.
To sum it up.
Being a child by hand brings all-round ability improvement. For a preschool child, this is not a simple thing. However, efforts in this matter can help children learn and exercise according to their own interests and cultivate good abilities.
