Arts and crafts for kids

Most children are firmly in touch with their creative side, whether they’re just beginning to scribble with crayons or are already an accomplished artist.

But joining an arts and crafts club won’t just help them develop their artistic talents: it’ll teach them a whole range of skills that apply to life outside the art room, too.

It goes without saying that spending time on art and craft activities helps stimulate children’s creativity, but it also promotes patience and determination, teaches them problem-solving strategies, and encourages teamwork when working on joint projects.

We’ve put together a guide to the places offering arts and crafts for kids in your area, and there’s a great selection to choose from: think messy play for little ones, painting clubs for school kids and pottery, graphics and fine art classes for older kids.

Whatever their age and stage, you’ll find something to suit your child in our directory.
