Doing arts and crafts with people who have ID does require additional thought and care. People with ID may experience more challenges in activities involving hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills such as cutting out intricate shapes. What might look like a good idea on a page might not actually suit people's skill levels. But as you get to know people individually, you'll become more accustomed to their preferences and abilities and be able to cater the activities accordingly.

To cater for various skill levels, consider running multiple craft activities around the room. One table might offer a simple colouring-in activity, another painting, and others with more hands-on activities. You could even have the one craft, but offer various stages of completion – such as some people may be able to do the full craft, some might work better with having elements already cut up and ready to just put together. As always, be thoughtful about the needs of the people you are working with and remember that ONE SIZE DOESN'T FIT ALL!
