Jewellery Making is Theraputic!!!

So as promised... I am continuing on with inclusive jewellery making...       😊


Today I wanted to give a brief overview of Jewellery making as a therapeutic activity.

Beading and Jewellery making is a popular activity for people of all ages. From children to teenagers to adults and seniors, it is a fun way to be creative and pass time. Basic jewellery making is easy and not much equipment or tools are required.

There are many therapeutic benefits of jewellery making it can be very relaxing, in fact can lead to a meditative state when fully absorbed and is a great way to relieve everyday stresses and tension. You may well of heard the term "bead therapy", which  perfectly sums up why some people turn to jewellery making.

Jewellery making gives us a great way to be creative, learn new skills and techniques and make something that matches our favourite outfit, colours and style. It can also give us a sense of achievement and happiness.

Jewellery Making can be beneficial for the young and old

Jewellery making can support your children's early development, providing transferable skills as they grow. It can improve their fine motor skills with increased finger strength and coordination, math skills with counting and making patterns, visual motor skills with hand-eye coordination and an extended attention span plus much more.

The elderly can also benefit from jewellery making in many of the same ways. For them, it keeps their mind active and stimulated, and also exercises their fine motor skills as well as providing additional health benefits. When done in a group setting, it can be a great social experience meeting new people, being creative, sharing ideas, helping each other and showing off their work.

Some of the benefits are:

• Decreases illness-related stress
