Creativity is not limited to artistic pursuits but is in fact an essential skill used for everyday problem solving. Children who are able to think out of the box are not only able to solve science, maths problems quickly and but also deal with social and emotional issues effectively. They are adapted to look at things from different perspective.
We have listed a few activities that will stimulate imagination and creativity in children. And before you know they will be the star of any brainstorming session!
