Creative
Creative Play
Play that ignites a child's imagination and makes something out of nothing! A box of crayons, construction paper, pipe cleaners, scissors and glue – they are all staples in the home, but when they come together in the hands of a child, they become magical works of art. But, Creative Play extends beyond art, entering a world of music, dance, building — even dirt! Creative play includes such things as: * Painting * Sculpting play dough * Building or creating crafts Providing a child a creative outlet will lead to many amazing things, and as you may know already, some not so amazing things if it involves drawing on furniture or a wall!
