God-Given Talents at Alabama Craft Fairs

By Wendell Oswald

God has a way of creating humanity in diverse, but equally talented ways. Each of us, whether man or woman, child or adult, have God-given talents that are just waiting to be honed. These talents, when put into practice, become very effective ways to express oneself.

Start early in life if you want to really develop your talents. Our minds and spirits are developed enough at an early age in our life, and it's much easier to learn and absorb as a child. Encourage your child to go into arts and crafts as soon as they're able.

What particular craft should you encourage your kids to do? That can only be truly decided by your child, as you simply cannot choose what God gives him or her. But what you can do is provide a way for your child to discover this talent. Make sure your child has access to crayons, and carefully monitor his or her interests.

Some might take an interest in craft works that may require a medium or tool that is dangerous to children. An example is woodcarving. Even though it is a very satisfying craft, the tools and sharp carving knives used there should not be used by an unsupervised child. Don't let this discourage your child, though; if he's really interested in it let him try it out under careful observation. Closely guide the child as he goes about it; and don't be afraid to research safety tips so you can keep the pair of you safe and unharmed.

A child will quickly get the hang of a new-found talent, and once your child becomes sufficiently good at doing his or her craft, you may want to encourage him to attend craft shows. Find a location nearby; just go online and surf sites that have a list of scheduled events. Maybe your child will be interested in setting up a booth, as well. A few extra dollars will encourage him or her more, as well as teach the habit of saving.
