At the age of 3, children will use creative leisure activities to exercise their senses and sensations then you'll just have to vary the activities, colours and materials.

Guide them through foam mosaic workshops, glue-on tassels and finger painting. But above all, don't forget to teach them to control their movements with velvet colouring, cutting and gluing.

3- For 5 years old

From the age of 5, your children will be exploring their imagination and creative potential, which will help them develop their powers of concentration and analysis.
