Project: Valentine’s Cards
This may look like just one grand mess of markers, glue and paper, but it is giving the children an opportunity to express their own creativity and to develop a number of valuable life skills. In addition to the obvious fine motor control necessary to operate scissors, they are expected to remember to use a gentle squeeze on the glue bottle, to put the cap back on their marker and to keep their paper scraps on the table. This kind of self-discipline will serve them well when they face more difficult challenges in real life.
