By being creative their brain function increases which contributes towards the health of children and young people. By developing creatively, solving problems and making good decisions children will gain satisfaction and build confidence. Children should be encouraged to think for themselves in order to make decisions and choices there and then. Here the process is more important than the outcome.
Creative development contributes towards children's mood as they lose themselves in their thoughts and ideas. There is a strong link between children's creativity and well-being and childcare workers should respond positively to their efforts in order to maintain the children's self-esteem. By being creative children will do things constantly in order to learn new things. They use their knowledge to solve problems and explore their environment in order to broaden their learning.
They will learn to share and play together and in doing so take the time to listen to the ideas of others. They will learn about the benefits of working in a group with other children and how this has a positive impact when solving problems. They develop physically when undertaking activities which also influences their confidence and independence.
They will develop, practise and improve their gross and fine motor skills, as well as their coordination skills. By experiencing new things and having time to make decisions children will develop personal and emotional skills.
The natural world inspires children to think, question, make suppositions, and develop creative minds. Children can draw in sand, make designs with twigs, build forts with branches, or simply lie on the ground and look up at the sky Invent scenarios. When your child invents a scenario, he tries on lots of different roles and organizes his thoughts while developing social and verbal skills. Encourage your child to play house, doctor, zoo, farm, space station, school, or store.
Join in the imaginative play by taking on a role yourself. Play with stuffed toys or puppets make simple puppets by putting your hand in a sock. Let your child lead your playtime together. If your child is into superheroes, think of the power your child might want as his own superpower feeling. Consider having your child create a new superhero! Verbal activities. From rhymes to riddles, silly sounds to phonics, games such as "I Spy" or making up lyrics to common tunes, verbal interactive activities can inspire and nurture creative minds.
Simultaneously, these activities build vocabulary and help your child learn phonics. These games are also the perfect and fun way to spend time in car rides.
Encourage art activities. Art is creative expression that nurtures imagination, not a lesson in following directions. Through painting, sculpture, collage, clay, drawing or any other medium, art is a way for children to work through emotions, make decisions, and express their ideas. Manipulating art materials provides a sense of freedom yet also encourages focus and concentration. Art activities also develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Furthermore, art activities build confidence because children gain a sense of mastery over materials resulting in a new creation.
Share literacy activities. Make reading time memorable and discuss other possible scenarios or endings for the story by using your child's imagination. Make up stories with your child, at times with her as the main character; other times propose moral dilemmas. Improving fine motor skills By drawing and painting with different sorts of materials, children improve their fine motor skills. A child that has learnt how to hold a pencil at a young age will develop his or her fine motor skills more quickly.
By practising skills like cutting, tearing, moulding clay etc, fine motor skills are developed from an early age. These are skills that are also useful in everyday life, like eating with knife and fork, tying shoe laces and writing. Concentration and focus Children develop and learn how to concentrate and focus. When children work in a calm and peaceful environment they can focus on the task at hand. Ideas for creative and imaginative play are available all around us.
How often do you see a small child staring at a leaf and turning it over to stare at the details. Emotional, cognitive, and fine motor skills develop with the introduction to the simple things. Try using some of these household items to make games, tell stories, or just have fun with them. Emotional Development: Creative play promotes social and emotional development by integrating feelings with tasks. These types of activities help children, who are not able to verbalize, express their feelings.
