In Piece by Piece, your child will create a picture of their choosing using a selection of colourful beads.​ The program combines creative expression, fine motor development, sensory regulation, and social interaction through the tactile experience of working with beads. Your child will further develop their fine motor skills and attention to detail while crafting intricate designs that showcase their unique style.

PROGRAM PURPOSE AND GOALS:
 
Emotional Regulation and Stress Relief:
​The rhythmic, repetitive nature of beading process requires sustained attention to detail, which can have a meditative, calming effect, helping participants focus on the present moment and reduce anxiety and process emotions in a calm, constructive manner. It can foster a sense of control, which can be empowering and soothing, especially for those who may struggle with chaotic or unpredictable environments.
 
​Creative Expression and Self-Discovery:
The program allows participants to choose colours, patterns, and images, giving them a chance to express their personality and preferences in a visual way. Through creative choices in the beading process, children can explore aspects of their identity and interests, which is builds empowerment, self-awareness, and self-expression.
