Abstract: School students often need to comprehend dimensions and spatial relationships in order to complete art and craft projects. They are learning to make sense of the physical environment, whether they are creating a collage or sketching a picture. Their cognitive and spatial abilities, which are essential for academic achievement, can be improved by this interaction with spatial aspects. Children learn how tiny parts fit together to form a whole when they work on mosaics and cutting board or collages. In addition to strengthening fine motor skills, this kind of problem-solving exercise young children must be patient and focused when participating in art and craft projects. Children must be taught to focus on their work and see it through to completion since these tasks need constant attention to detail. Additionally, finger dexterity is stimulated by tasks like sculpting with play dough or stringing beads. In order to correctly execute these exercises, numerous fingers must be coordinated, which gradually improves hand control. Another exercise that improves fine motor skills is cutting. Children are honing their hand-eye coordination as they cut paper with scissors. Accurately controlling their hand movements is facilitated by learning to cut along lines or shapes.
