Please see our long term curriculum plan for DT:

Craft activities help to promote skills that help children to pay attention, switch focus, plan and organise, multi-task, remember details and manage time.

It improves motor skills and coordination: Doing art activities aid in the development of both the large and small muscles and eye-hand coordination. They also help children learn fine motor control, which is crucial for writing. Activities like gripping a crayon or a paintbrush, using scissors, squeezing the bottle of glue, or rolling play dough develop and improves dexterity. Since children use both hands for these activities, their coordination also improves.
