Technical 

Technical subjects can include: ICT, business, computing science, food and textiles, craft, design, engineering and graphics.

As with everything not all children learn the same way or by just watching. Strategies like breaking down the activity into stages, giving clear instructions, giving time to learn each step, can help. Get your child to say out loud what they are doing when they are doing it. You could help them feel the movement by having your hand over their hand, guiding them through the movement.
