How to Pick the Best Art and Craft Set for Young Children?

20 years of Mimitoys.ie and Arts & Crafts Sets have always been at the heart of my toy selection. I have always been attracted by colours, mixing colours and I have spent a huge amount of time with my children colouring, painting, sticking and glueing. 
It has always been an engaging, fun and sensory activity for all of us. Most of the time relaxing too!!!
Djeco is the brand that I recommend without hesitation if you are looking for Arts and Crafts for Kids and particularly for young children aged 18 months and older.

It is so nice to work with a company that completely reflects my values: a huge respect for children's well-being and happiness and loads of space to encourage curiosity and novelty.

The Benefits of Arts and Crafts From a Young Age

Introducing Arts and Crafts at an early age has great developmental benefits. As children holds crayons, paintbrushes or stickers, they use their fine motor skills, focus and concentration. As we talk about colours, shapes and patterns young children experience colour recognition, pattern making and logic.

Arts and Crafts are a fantastic way for young children to express themselves. Even if they don't have the words to fully communicate, they can express feelings, ideas, and creativity through their artwork. It is also a lovely way to connect with people around them, siblings, parents and minders.

When introducing Arts & Crafts activities for toddlers, safety of materials and suitability of content are so important. Make sure to check the age on the box and the content of the box.
Additionally, it's not only about choosing a creative toy that looks good it's also about making sure that the young child will enjoy it as well as learn and develop their skills, at their own pace.
