Creative Children Need Space at Home and at School

Creative Children Need Space at Home and at School

Supporting creativity starts with the relationships between children and adults. Find inspiration for creating space at home and at school for ideas, collaboration and discovery.

When children have the chance to create together, they can share different approaches and build on one another’s ideas. Parents and educators don’t need to plan big projects—a shared construction with building blocks, an invented story or swapping ideas while drawing is enough. What matters is that everyone has a chance to contribute and that different solutions aren’t dismissed straight away. This helps make creativity a natural part of spending time together.
