Your child's interest in art and craft shows that he is a creative person and possesses the patience and concentration that is required to do such activities. I feel that you should appreciate him and applaud him front of his father and other family members. Show trust in him and then you can slowly and subtly encourage him in his studies. It is actually a good thing that he himself likes to indulge in creative activities because professional counsellors too engage children in creative activities to correct children's behaviour. So, for a while you can give him a break and do not force him to study and can talk about the same with his teacher so that he gets time to pass through this phase. And most importantly appreciate his efforts and do not scold him in front of others and do not be preachy. Be his friend and help him out like a friend, and not like an adult with whom he cannot relate to.
