Should parents help children in art and craft?

My son has art and craft in Class V. He has different tasks.
It is like using the buttons of shirts and making an elephant. It is like using marbel papers and making dolphins.
It is like making snowdoll with thermocol and cotton.
All these tasks children themselves cannot do. So they require help. I help my son.

That's a real good idea I think helping the kids could teach a lot.

Yes, they can cut the papers, paste them with gum, parents can guide them with examples how to make the work neat and ornamental.

@softbabe44 Yes Peggy, parents can guide how not to colour outside the edges, give good borders, paste different papers in the right way.

I find that a rather strange situation. If *all* tasks are too difficult for children, you should talk to the teacher and ask why they don't choose things children of that age group can do themselves. A child wants to enjoy what they themselves have accomplished without anybody's help. Besides, it's an unfair teaching method. Not all parents have the time to help their children or are talented enough to do so.

@sathviksouvik So it's the parents' work that gets the mark. How absurd.

Thanks Maluse for the suggestion. What the teachers do in class is show how to do the easy craft. The difficult ones are the ones which are given in home work. They are marked also. So the children dont have alternatives they ask suggestions from their parents.

@MALUSE Thanks Maluse, I agree, but the schools also deal with students in that way. If the teacher knows that the craft is such that the child is going to require parent's help
then such home task should not be given.

Parents should help kids in every possible way .. this way the bond between them strengthens and both have a fun time

Thanks ladies of India. Yes, charity begins at home. What the child learns at home it is difficult for the child to learn in school.

Thanks Val, yes, children need guidance. After that they will do the work themselves.

Thanks Karella for the comments. Along with the children the parents do innovative work.
