For example, taking part in imaginative activities such as drama, or physical activities such as walking or dance could benefit individuals physically as it could help develop muscle tone and increase stamina and fitness.
Activities such as sewing and painting could promote fine motor skills as the fingers and hands are being used to create patterns and images.
