Why are creative activities are important for my child?

Children have unlimited creative potential.  They are curious, playful, imaginative, and open to new experiences. Creativity is not a fixed quantity, but a renewable skill and a way of thinking that can be improved and nurtured by allowing a child’s potential to develop.

Research has shown that children’s engagement with creative activities has positive effects on their interpersonal, intellectual, social and emotional development.

• They engage with their imagination and originality as they Imagine and explore original ideas. Children who use fantasy and imagination are better able to engage in divergent thinking, with the ability to generate many ideas.
• They stretch their flexibility, maintaining openness to unique and novel experiences.
• They practice decision making, the ability to make thoughtful choices that support creative efforts.
• They hone their communication and self-expression skills, learning to communicate ideas and their authentic selves with confidence.
• They find internal motivation in striving to achieve a meaningful goal.
• They experience the benefits of collaboration as they develop social skills that foster creative teamwork.
• And, by using action and movement, they boost their creative potential through physical activity.
