Creativity fosters independent thinking and increased attention.

• Finger painting and PLAY-DOH are great ways to develop self-expression. Some children may be sensitive to new textures at first, but tolerance increases with experience.
• Use recycled materials. Then your child can be free to come up with his own creations. (may be helpful to give an example here)
• Participate in cooking projects together.
• Splash together in a large bin of water or use bath time as an opportunity for sustained engagement. Make the most of your daily routines.
