Benefits of the Animal Shape Crafts

When children complete these fun shape crafts, they get to flex their problem-solving muscles as they determine where the shapes go in order to create the animals.

Early learners will also build fine motor skills as they color, cut, and glue.

Additionally, the sense of accomplishment they feel when completing a craft is a wonderful confidence booster.
