Stay Ready for School with Art Activities for Kids
Art education is integral to developing a child’s social, emotional, and academic skills—plus, creating art is fun and leads to a lifelong passion for art. Here are just a few of the ways engaging in creative activities can set your little one up for success:
Fine Motor Skills
Developing fine motor skills, the ability to use the small muscles in your fingers, and making connections in the brain to complete tiny or tedious tasks like cutting, molding, and writing, is crucial to preparing your child for an independent future. Art relies on these fine motor skills. From holding a paintbrush, using scissors, or molding clay, every day spent in art class is a day spent improving essential fine motor skills!
School-Readiness Skills
Many elementary schoolers struggle with transitioning back to the classroom each August. After three months of independence, it can be difficult for your student to return to a structured school routine. Participating in summer activities, like summer arts camp, can keep those social skills sharp and prepare your child for success on the first day of school.
Whole-Brain Development
Art education provides valuable opportunities to develop every part of your child’s brain. Tapping into creative muscles encourages your young one to approach difficult situations with patience and an open mind. Studies show that students participating in art classes can better visualize solutions to tricky math and science problems, leading to higher success.
Emotional Self-Regulation
Art is a relaxing and therapeutic activity. In a creative setting, children learn to face failure in a safe environment. By experiencing this in a supportive environment, like an art class, children will learn how to regulate their emotions as they face setbacks and make mistakes. Practicing failure is essential to developing the confidence to take risks and try new things, which are crucial life skills!

Making art is fun! With all the different classes we offer at CREATE studio, your budding artist is bound to find a project they’ll love. Some of our themes include mythical creatures, cool inventions, cardboard creations, castles and wizards, and so much more!
