Knitting and crocheting are valuable skills that can be learned at a young age. The rhythmic, repetitive movements are calming. They teach the value of patience and perseverance. They develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, concentration, math skills and self-esteem. Best of all is the feeling of accomplishment that comes from creating something beautiful and useful from a simple strand of yarn.
