Creativity is the most freeing form of self-expression, especially for little ones in their development stages. Expressing feelings and thoughts when you’re little can be tricky. Having a medium to direct their experiences towards, can significantly enhance their emotional health, on top of the development of their creativity.
Children need a multitude of opportunities to express their creativity and freedom, whether it's painting a portrait or doing a bit of gardening.
What kid doesn’t love getting a bit messy too? Mess is great and should be encouraged sometimes, especially when it comes to creativity. Having an art station dedicated to their interests and learning is a great way to encourage your kids’ self-expression.
