Children can learn about what a cypher is before they get to colour it in, perhaps even writing a bit about it beforehand. This would be good to include as part of an afternoon lesson, as they can unwind with colouring in something they understand the significance of. It’s also an ideal activity to do at home with a loved one during the afternoon. Crafting is a fantastic way for children to develop their fine motor skills as well as learning about shapes, colours and counting. It encourages critical thinking, creativity and helps children express themselves. This, in turn, can boost a child’s confidence and self-esteem.
