Creative expression comes in many forms; art, music, writing, weaving, and is a very important part of childhood. Whether your child is creating masterpieces on the front side walk or drawing pictures or coloring in a coloring book, it is important that we support them in there creative expression. Allow your child to express using the colors that they choose. That could mean a purple sky, green sun, orange tree and yellow grass. Their end product doesn't need to look like the example. That is what makes it uniquely theirs.
Creative expression is found in simple toys like Mr. Potato Head. It's okay to put the ears on top and the mouth where the eyes typically go. They are expressing themselves in a creative way!
When your child sees you being creative, they will learn to express their creativity as well.
It isn't about the end product...it's about the journey they took to get there!
Reading and telling stories, playing with your child, helping support your child and just giving them time to be themselves and enjoy what they are doing!
The work of a 4 year old! They can do amazing things if we give them the chance!
Sharing creativity together!
