Arts and crafts are beneficial for both children and adults, offering a wide range of advantages. First, they provide leisure opportunities that can enhance social connections, lead to potential employment, occupy time that might otherwise be spent on unhealthy habits, and promote mental wellness. Additionally, the repetitive nature of many crafts allows individuals to ‘get lost’ in the activity, fostering relaxation and focus. When the activity is appropriately challenging—neither too hard nor too easy—it can be particularly beneficial for individuals with anxiety or ADHD, offering substantial relaxation and improved concentration.
