It’s important that children are given the chance to explore their ideas, create things and stretch their imagination. Creativity is one of the skills that they will need to form many other important life skills such as problem solving and critical thinking. They will need both to make good decisions and funnily enough, the way that you can help them with that is by letting them play. Unstructured play allows children the chance to create new, innovative ideas.
A few materials and toys that can help them with this are Lego, craft and jewellery making kits. They’ll be occupied for a while, giving you a moment’s peace and helping them in their development.
If you would like some help with this, we have some expert tips from a private nursery in Herefordshire.
Baking
Just like the unstructured play resources highlighted above, baking ingredients give children options and the chance to create whatever they wish. Whether you just let them take charge of icing or to think of a way to create a new twist, they will be able to put their imagination to good use and work on their creativity.
Outdoor Adventures
While it might sound a little bizarre, taking a break can help you to refresh your creative juices. Your child can come back with lots of inspiration from the things that they’ve seen and create even better ideas.
Gift Giving
When birthdays or other events come around, our gift giving ideas often fail us. You need to think long and hard about the kind of person that you’re gifting and the things that they’d like. This is when you can practice creativity together. Better yet, you can create your own which can help them to explore their artistic talents.
