For example toys could be added to the sand or glitter into the water. For this activity the practitioner should have a range of different toys of different sizes, shapes and textures for the child to explore with. Encouraging them to talk about it and asking things like ‘how much water can you get in that bucket’. It is important to ask open ended questions so the children can express their idea’s. The range of toys and materials could help discuss the different shapes that they can see in the toy box. The children will be able to explore the feel and movement of the water and sand when they are doing certain things with it for example pouring water between two cups. The practitioner can ask the children about how heavy the buckets are when they are filled up with different amounts of water and sand as well as using words like ‘lighter’ or…

This page and the crafts behind it were lovingly designed by a preschool teacher and mother of five small children who wanted to share with others how to spark creativity among the children.

Creativity and creative learning are highlighted by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework as being a significant aspect in the holistic development of young children. Children need to have the opportunities to respond in an individual and personal way, make choices and follow new ideas uninhibited by adult expectations. Many people believe creative learning and creativity are the same but in fact they are very different. Creative learning is about how children are actively involved in their own learning and their ability to make choices and decisions. Ofstead states that among professionals, creative learning is seen as questioning and challenging, making connections and seeing relationships, envisaging what might be, exploring ideas, keeping options open and reflecting critically on ideas, actions and outcomes. (Ofstead 2010) Creativity however is about seeing things in a new way and using your imagination. Being creative is strongly linked to play and by allowing children to explore and express themselves through a variety of media or materials including, dance, music, craft, drawing, painting and role play, children are able to produce original outcomes in a variety of ways. The National Advisory Committee on Creative and Cultural Education (NACCCE) defines creativity as “imagination, fashioned so as to produce outcomes which are original and of value” (NACCCE, 1999) and believes all people have the capacity and democratic right, to be creative in all aspects of life.…
