Creativity
Creativity is the ability to challenge, question and explore. It involves taking risks, playing with ideas, keeping an open mind and making connections where none are obvious. Many believe that creativity is confined to the arts, but it is also believed to be fundamental to advances in science, maths, technology politics, business and all areas of everyday life.
Imagine
A big part of being creative is using your imagination. Children use their imagination a lot when they play. Imaginative play is usually based on activities and objects that children are already familiar with.
Imaginary Friends
Tell us about your imaginary friend here. What’s their name? What kind of being are they – a human, an animal, an alien or perhaps something completely different? What do you get up to with your imaginary friend?
Be Inspired
In the creative process, the moment of inspiration is when you are spurred into action to play out your ideas, or to create something new. Children can be inspired by many things.
Explore
Children need time to explore - being quick is not the same as being creative. Having time to practise, experiment and build new skills helps children find satisfying ways to put their creativity into action
Make It Happen
When the creativity bug bites, people become immersed in the process of making, giving them the determination to find their own solution and helping them to develop their own creativity., in a rewarding way.
