The research focuses on exploring how participation in these creative interventions influences self-esteem and contributes to the overall personality development of children facing socio-economic challenges. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys, interviews, and observations, to gather comprehensive data from participants. Quantitative data were analyzed using t-tests to compare pre- and post-intervention self-esteem scores, revealing a significant increase following participation in art and craft activities. Qualitative data from interviews provided deeper insights into the children's experiences and perceptions of these activities. Findings indicate a notable enhancement in self-esteem among participants, underscoring the beneficial role of art and craft in fostering confidence and emotional well-being. The study highlights the importance of integrating such creative practices into educational settings to support the holistic development of vulnerable children. Practical implications suggest that these activities offer a platform for self-expression, skill development, and social interaction, addressing critical socio-emotional needs often overlooked in traditional educational approaches [keywords] => [doj] => 2025-01-09 [hit] => [status] => [award_status] => P [orderr] => 17 [journal_id] => 1 [googlesearch_link] => [edit_on] => [is_status] => 1 [journalname] => EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR) [short_code] => IJMR [eissn] => 2455-3662 (Online) [pissn] => - -- [home_page_wrapper] => images/products_image/11.IJMR.png ) Error fetching PDF file.
