Holistic learning isn’t all about academics. These learning activities can boost you and your learner to engage on a deeper level and to keep your learner motivated and excited about learning. As a learning activity, arts, crafts, and design have traditionally been passed over in favor of more academic pursuits. However, it has been proven that craft – particularly developmentally appropriate craft activities – can boost learning in those core academic disciplines like language, social studies, science, and math. Crafts have been around since the beginning of time when people made everything they used with their hands.
