•• three-dimensional objects for the first time. Simple contours and large
tabs for pasting make it easy for children to successfully complete the
assignment. The paper objects can also be used as toys afterwards.
Children will have fun wearing, decorating, or playing with the toy they
have made. Using scissors and glue will help develop children's fine

,,
motor skills and enhance their brain functions.

Turning two-dimensional parts into three-dimensional objects will give

your child a satisfying experience In creating things. As they finish
making the crafts one by one, children will grow more confident in what
they can do with their hands. If your child has difficulty while making
objects, you can offer to help. The lime you spend together creating
crafts wlli definitely become a !)recious experience for your child.
