Developing Children's Creativity and Expression |
|
Everyone seems to admire creativity. But there is not one definition of creativity that everyone agrees upon. The definitions of creativity are many and varied, however, always includes • Being able to think of new ways of doing
things |
| Developing the elements of creativity affect a child’s development. Elements used that further enhance the creative process: |
| Self-expression | Children can express what they see, feel, hear, and think; help a child find their own unique style |
| Curiosity | Children are allowed to follow through on their hunches, impulses, and natural desire to find out what things are, how they work, what will happen “if” |
| Exploration/Experimentation: | Children can try different ways to use an object, toy, or work on a project |
| Imagination | Children are free to fantasize, engage in imaginative play, or come up with many possibilities for whatever they are focusing on, often trying things or coming up with possibilities we think are ‘impossible’ |
| Open-ended thinking | Children are stretching their thinking skills by not having to come up with only one possible outcome or answer |
| These are the important skills we hope to contribute in the development of your child, and the skills they use in daily life and will continue to use as they grow into adults |
