The child learns with every move and experiences new skills.

Finding ideas is almost more fun for the children than making the piece themselves. If you work with a child, you quickly realize that otherwise restless children can also deal with this one thing over a longer period of time. When the end is finished, are the small particularly proud of the self-made artwork.
