CLINICAL STUDY
SEWING STIMULATES CREATIVITY IN CHILDREN
​
"A clinical psychologist Dr. Robert Reiner of the New York-based Behavioral Associates conducted a study that involved 100 grade school children. The children were given the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking and were then randomly assigned to participate in one of the following activities: 1-watching a videotaped movie, 2-playing a hand-held computer game, 3-painting with watercolors, 4-sewing a simple project, 5-music appreciation.
After completing the assigned activity, the children were tested again. Those who had spent time sewing and painting showed significant increases in creativity. Children who played a computer game showed no changes in creativity levels and those who watched the videotaped movies, actually scored a lower level of creativity.
Dr. Reiner concluded that sewing (and other "hands-on" activities such as painting, drawing) not only stimulate creativity, they also help develop patience, perseverance and problem-solving skills. According to child development experts, the optimum time to introduce new topics of learning is between the ages of 5 and 12."
