You may dread the day you'll see crayon marks on the walls of your home, but that may very well be the first indication that your child is the art-sy type, one who enjoys putting colors together, or who can create something wonderful with her hands. A talent for painting or drawing is easy to spot when they're young, but even if they aren't artistically-inclined, joining arts and crafts classes can help kids develop an eye for beauty and enhance their motor skills.
