Chrsitmas crafts projects

Christmas is a holiday where all kinds of kids crafts are created at home and in the school environment.

Crafts for kids, however should be an activity that should bring fun and excitement to children’s activities aside from adding a bonding to the adults that are doing the projects with them.

Educational arts and crafts is a way of doing crafts with children where they are not blindly copying the adults model but are creating things that they are capable of creating at their own developmental level.

When children create at their own level a number of things occur.

It creates a great feeling about themselves, as who can feel good about crafts projects that are copycat models of someone else’s. Children who create their own projects without adult input feel much better about themselves.

An even more beneficial side to educational arts and crafts is its inherent allowance for creativity.
There is very little that represses creativity more than having to copy anothers work.

There are a few categories that are part of educational art.
There is the cafeteria style that allows children to choose materials to work with, there is process only art where the process is what counts along with a few more.

The first one uses plastic throwaway cups:

The kids can use permament markers to make many colorful designs on their cups. Try egging them on to fill in as much empty space on the cup as possible.

When they are done, take a cookie sheet and put the cups upside down on it and put in the over at around 350 degrees. Give them a few minutes so that they have time to melt. Look out for the amount of time the cups are in the oven as they can burn up completely. Don’t allow the children near this part as it gets very hot.

When they are cool, make a hole in the center and use colorful ribbon to hang as an ornament for your tree.

Another project is to take all of your old cd’s and dvd’s and use them for the project.

 

Basically: Decorate them and hang them.

There are tons of ways of enhancing the cd’s.

Crafts as in generally done, or crafts with kids has never been touted as an activity that is supposed to do more than keep kids busy, give them some fun and as some say add creativity to a child’s life.

Kids crafts however should do more than that, much more, actually.
When crafts are made with an educational art approach, there are 4 added benefits the children get.

It can take them into the academic realm by allowing them to think through problems.

It can make them take initiative really make them creative and raise their self esteem.

I can show you how to get kids to make a crafts, in this case a fall crafts that will encompass all of the benefits above.

If you take a look online, the majority of the crafts for kids are made up by adults.

Adults think of a cute idea, create it, get the materials, and have the children follow in step by step fashion.This creates what we call “copycat crafts”.

In order to have the kids make crafts that are full of good benefits they must jump in, not be nervous and do that activity without looking to that adult to tell them what to do.

We can’t get let the kids go crazy and do whatever they want. but there is a way to straddle both fences.

In arranging a crafts for the children your first responsibilty is to set the parameters of the activity. Will it be a fall, winter or holiday theme. Then, start thinking of the materials you can give the children that will suggest Fall. Let your mind wander to magnificient fall foliage, scenic mountain trails, baskets full of pumpkins.

Two very important or helpful things in this equation are Number one:To gather a lot of different pictures to hang up so that the children can get inspiration from these pictures and pick parts of the pictures that they want use in their craft.

Another good idea woould be to give the children a base piece to use in their artwork.

Choosing many widths and lengths of tree trunks as the focal point for a fall picture would make lot of sense in this case.

If you look at this Fall craft collage I give step by sep instruction on how to do a fall craft like this.

What happens is, children are free to think on their own without adult interference.

It is just when kids can work on their own without an overly rigid structure that they learn to take initiative
Their creativity, of course blooms because they are being allowed to create what they like.
As a result they feel great and their self worth shoots up.

If you are an early childhood teacher you may find another interesting crafts project in this style  called Fall projects for the preschool classroom.

The difference in what this type of crafts, or as I call it educational arts and crafts does for children is indescribable.
