Art straws - make a swing activity as a group

The value of using art straws as an activity with children is that it encourages creative thinking and problem-solving. Art straws are a great way to introduce children to different kinds of materials and textures, while also teaching them how to manipulate materials to make something new. Additionally, art straws can help children develop their fine motor skills, as they must use their hands to manipulate the straws and create something. Finally, the activity is fun and can be adapted to suit any age group.(AI produced)
