- Glue the smaller pink ears over the larger white earpieces.

Why Craft Is Important For Kids
Sometimes I get asked, “Why so many crafts?”
Well, the answer is simple!
Kids love crafts; I mean, look at my daughter’s face when she photobombed my picture!
Plus, it’s a fantastic way for kids to be creative, allowing them to practice fine motor skills while learning to use scissors and glue.
These are just a few reasons why craft is so essential!
But above all, kids love it!
