Make Your Club Stand Out with Super Skills
CCC crafts aren't just fun—they're an opportunity to develop critical skills that set kids up for success.
Parents love craft lessons that go beyond crafting, ones that give their children the chance to build important skills.
With this project, kids will develop:
- Fine-Motor Skills: Activities like threading beads, wrapping wool, and punching holes build essential coordination and motor planning.
- Tactile Exploration: Decorating with various materials like pompoms, glitter, and stickers introduces kids to textures, helping them adapt to and engage with their environment.
- Creative Problem-Solving: Transforming simple, recycled materials into stunning decorations encourages kids to think critically and creatively.
By focusing on these “super skills,” you give parents confidence in the value your club provides, setting it apart from other clubs and keeping them coming back for more.
Age Recommendation
This lesson is ideal for holiday workshops with mixed ages.
- For younger children aged 2 to 3, it’s a bonding activity where they work alongside an adult to explore textures, colors, and shapes. These moments of teamwork and connection are deeply rewarding for both kids and their grown-ups.
- For older kids aged 4 to 12, it’s a chance to work independently, build confidence and practice essential skills like fine-motor coordination and creative problem-solving.
This project adapts beautifully to meet the developmental needs of each age group, ensuring everyone has fun and takes pride in their unique creations.
Perfect for Your Budget
Another great thing about this project is that it's super cost-effective.
You can use recycled cardboard to create the tree shapes and gather bits and bobs like wool, beads, and scraps of paper from your craft drawer for decoration. This keeps costs low while maximising creativity.
Need a base for the tree? A pool noodle works perfectly! Plus, we’ll show you how to add a loop so kids can hang their creations as ornaments.
This lesson proves that creativity doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag—it’s affordable, fun, and impactful.
