Support your child's creativity

Fostering creativity in children stimulates their imagination, promotes the development of thinking and emotional intelligence. Supporting creative aspirations does not require sophisticated tools or expensive materials, but only attention and participation from parents.

Create a creative space at home where your child can safely get dirty with paint or scatter paper. It is important that your child has a place where he or she can express himself or herself freely.

Encourage experimentation with different materials and techniques. Let your child try drawing with pencils, crayons, paints, or modeling with clay and plasticine. This helps to develop fine motor skills and learn to express their feelings through art.

Be interested in your child's creative projects. Ask questions about their work, discuss ideas, and suggest new directions for research. Such attention from adults increases a child's self-confidence and promotes creativity.

You should not criticize or evaluate the child's work. Any creativity is unique, and it is important to value individuality and originality. Let children know that any of their creations are valuable and significant.

Creative tasks can also be included in the educational process. The variety of classes and activities in the early development center provides additional opportunities for self-expression and development of the child's creative potential.
