In a world that’s becoming increasingly digital, we often forget how powerful it is for children to use their hands, hearts and imagination to create something on their own. Art and craft is not just a fun break from routine — it plays a vital role in early childhood development. From improving fine motor skills and concentration to helping children express themselves emotionally, art is a joyful and enriching part of learning.
Children are natural creators. Give them a blank page, some colour and a few materials, and they can turn it into something truly magical. Whether it’s a crayon sketch or a paper-folded butterfly, art helps children explore their imagination, try new things and build confidence. It also promotes inclusivity by giving every child a chance to shine — no words needed.
That’s why the introduction of high-quality art and craft books is so important in both homes and classrooms. And now, with a new launch by Ratna Sagar, children have an exciting new way to dive into creative learning with the beautifully designed Expressing with Art and Craft book series.
