We love adding arts and crafts into our homeschool routine. We usually do one planned structured art project a month in our routine. Sometimes we pick something that is based around an upcoming holiday and sometimes we just find something fun on Pinterest to do. There are so many benefits to arts and crafts that you can read more about in this post (10 Benefits of Arts & Crafts).
