Encouraging creativity

Whether it's painting, writing, singing, dancing or creative play, helping children use their imagination is a big part of their development. This short video from Parentchannel.tv explores which activities can fuel their - and your - creativity.

 

 

For younger children, creativity is a key part of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in England, and the Foundation Phase in Wales. Encouraging creativity will support all areas of children's development - and be a great source of fun!
