HISTORY OF CRAFTING Crafting is an ancient practice that is perhaps as old as
the human civilization itself. Archaeologists over the years have conducted excavations in different parts of the world and discovered various handmade objects of craft from different ages. Crafting reflects the culture, tradition and history of a place and lives long after the culture has undergone modern transformations.Historically, the earliest stage of crafting can be called as the one when practically every creation was a piece of craft. Every object was made with hands, using physical human skills, creativity and patience, as there was no automation or technology available to make anything mechanically.

together. This skill is important in other areas of
their lives as they continue to grow, such as
writing, tying shoes, typing and so much more.

hand writing, your child is required to use
their fine motor coordination. These skills
similarly translate to other areas of their
lives, such as dressing ,eating, and in the
academic setting.

This is a great lesson for you child to
demonstrate self control and patience. Also, as

flexibility in your child. There is no right or
wrong way in exploring one’s own creativity!
