THE IMPORTANCE OF TALKING TO YOUNG CHILDREN |
|
HOW ART ENCOURAGES CREATIVITY (AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT, TOO)
by Too Small to Fail
“According to several recent studies cited by the National Endowment for the Arts, art can also improve language development in young children. When parents talk with children about the art they are making, children learn how to describe visual elements like colors and shapes, and build their vocabularies even as they fine-tune their motor skills.”

|
EXPLORE ART FOR LEARNING
by Too Small to Fail
“Studies also show that early art experiences are linked to improved academic performance across subjects, help foster children’s self-expression, and build their confidence, too! By engaging your child in creative activities early on, you can help your little one develop an appreciation for the arts, as well as lifelong skills that can help him/her succeed in school and beyond.”
