However, think how many adults you know that can't follow simple instructions to get projects done on their own. Do you know people in your life that can't decide what the next step in a project should logically be without being told? Crafting can teach the natural progression and help with common sense decisions. Simple things like learning you have to cut shapes out before they can be glued down. Some craft projects, just as in projects in life, will not go together and look as they are supposed to unless directions are followed. I do agree that some projects need to be just letting them go with no restrictions. Letting the creativity flow helps them think out of the box. That's why it was number one on the list :) Thanks for opening up discussion! I can see it as a good way to build leadership as well.
