HOBBIES 16 raring2go.co.uk Spark their curiosity: Unusual hobbies for Primary School kids While team sports and dance classes are classic after-school activities, some children find their interests lie in unexpected areas. Nurturing an unusual hobby can help kids develop unique talents and a lifelong love of learning from an early age. For the creatively inclined, art classes or obscure crafts like calligraphy, woodworking or jewellery-making allow children to get hands-on. Those with analytical minds may enjoy strategic board games, puzzles or coding clubs that encourage logic and problemsolving skills. Aspiring explorers could join an archaeology group, astronomy club or get stuck into gardening or beekeeping. Even video gaming, driving simulators or model train building can nurture skills like spatial awareness and dexterity. Historic reenactment societies teach appreciation for our heritage. And for adrenaline-seekers, rock climbing or martial arts make exciting hobbies. The possibilities are endless for channeling a child's inquisitive nature into an enriching passion project. An unusual pursuit provides the perfect opportunity to develop expertise in a niche area from a young age. More importantly, finding their "thing" boosts confidence and self-expression. With an open mind and some gentle guidance, you may just unearth your child's quirkiest hobby - and watch their interests flourish. 23
