A study by the Craft and Hobby Association which surveyed 76 teachers
and over 1,500 students across America showed some key findings
which included:
•        Students who spend a greater proportion of their learning time
engaged in hands-on projects scored significantly higher on writing and
drawing knowledge application tasks.
•        The creativity and level of detail students demonstrated on the
tasks also indicated that the hands-on projects left many students with
vivid and lasting understanding of both facts and concepts.
•        Student behavior and socialization skills improve when hands-on
craft projects are undertaken
•        82% of teachers surveys said that handcrafted projects help their
students apply information in new or different situations

“It’s great to read about a study that says what we’ve known for a long
time” says Joan Clasbey, co-owner of You Made It! llc Paint Your Own
Pottery.
