Every child is unique, which means that kids like to unwind after school in different ways. While some children might like to run and rock climb and play basketball, some others may want to curl up and read a book. We understand each child has different interests. That’s why we have a program focused on arts and crafts for kids.

At All Sports Kids, we have just the thing for every kid, no matter what they like to do after school! We have a number of programs for children. These including cheerleading, gaga ball, soccer, volleyball, basketball and countless other activities.

For those who like to pursue quieter, less physically intense after school activities, we have a game room, and the K-1 Room. The K-1 room is specially designed for younger kids who are interested in arts and crafts, reading, yoga, face painting, and other relatively quiet hobbies.

Arts and crafts for kids might seem run-of-the mill, but they’re actually one of the easiest and fastest way for kids to learn fine motor skills, bond with friends, and even boost self-esteem!

Here are a few proven ways that arts and crafts for kids can benefit children while they have fun:

Bilateral Coordination


Crafting skills like cutting, drawing, and coloring all help in facilitating bilateral coordination, which is when both hands work together to perform a task. These skills also help with everyday activities like tying shoes, typing, and writing.

Fine Motor Skills


Fine motor skills help kids move their fingers in precise and small movements to write letters, cut patterns, and draw designs and shapes. These motor skills also allow them to dress themselves by buttoning up shirts, as well as pick up small pieces of food while eating.

Practice Self Discipline


Arts and crafts for kids are instrumental in helping them practice self-discipline. Completing these small projects require them to follow instructions step-by-step. Additionally, they are taught to exercise patience while they’re waiting for their creations to dry. While following instructions, children are encouraged to explore their creative sides. This allows them to show their take on a specific project, promoting flexibility and originality.

Boosts Self-Esteem


Completing a small art project can be extremely meaningful, and gives children a sense of accomplishment. Arts and crafts for kids, challenges them to think outside the box and be creative in unexpected ways.

Friendships and Fun


AllSportsKids makes sure that kids are always having fun together. Arts and crafts are a great way for children to bond with others. It’s also a great way to make friends and use imagination.
