Working with beads can develop many useful skills for preschoolers. Using beads to make jewelry improves problem-solving skills in children. They must figure out what type of jewelry they want to create and what pattern to use. They must also determine how many beads to put in a pattern and how long the bracelet or necklace should be, which improves math skills. 
Seniors need to keep their brain active and Jewelry making will be a great way to do just that. Not being able to challenge your brain can lead to cognitive disorders down the road.  Creating jewelry helps keep the mind active because it’s like doing a puzzle, you are putting different colors and shapes together to create a masterpiece and that makes it extremely beneficial for seniors. Our seniors can come and enjoy being social and not have to stay home while the family goes to work with no one to talk to.

 Benefits of Dance Fitness
1) Dance to Build Strength It might not be weightlifting, dancing isn’t going to make you visibly jacked, but toning and working your entire body day after day builds a lot of strength
2) The Power to Endure 
You need grit to get through a dance class. If you stick to a regular dance schedule, putting in the hours week after week, your endurance will get a huge boost. Your day-to-day energy levels will benefit too, affecting your work performance and enabling you to outlast any of your friends on the dancefloor on a night out too.
 3) Surprising Dexterity
 If you know a lot of dancers, do you notice they’re just a bit more graceful than other people? When you’re moving every part of your body in a controlled motion each day you become nimble and agile. It’s subtle, but you’ll be better with your hands, more at ease when walking, delicate or forceful in your movements depending on the situation. Others pick up on that too.
4) Stay Coordinated 
Dance fitness means your whole body works in tandem like a finely tuned machine. If you’ve ever seen a dancer who’s also waiting tables, they can carry three plates and a card machine in one arm and a tray of drinks on the other while weaving their way through a restaurant as busy as a dancefloor. Moving at speed without taking a tumble isn’t as easy as it looks.
5) Dance Fitness Boosts Flexibility.
Building up your dance fitness will ensure your body has a healthy range of motion. Keeping all of your joints and muscles springy will have you feeling healthy and youthful even as you age, along with a whole range of health benefits. Take note of the non-dancers in your life who are constantly cracking their backs, necks, and joints.
6) Dancing to Lower Stress
Dancing is great for you at any age. Getting up and simply moving for 30 minutes a day is recommended for everyone, while doing a proper workout that pushes you is even more important for younger people. Not only does your body remain fit, but your brain also releases anti-stress hormones, like serotonin and endorphins, which help regulate your mood. The less stress you have now, the less likely you are to be susceptible to it in future. Your body processes its tension through exercise too, so when you push your dance fitness to a new level, you’re also getting rid of old stress lurking in your body.
