Children are naturally curious about the world they live in. With all the ‘whats’ and ‘whys’ children ask, why not stimulate their curiosity by fueling their creativity? At Jaycees Early Learning Center, we strive to engage your child in creative activities each and every day. As a parent, you can help ignite your child’s creativity by providing them with stimulating activities and opportunities for them to do at home. In this blog, we are going to share some simple and effective ways to help your child better discover their creativity skills and abilities.

Engage in Activities With Your Child

At Jaycees Early Learning Center, we provide an array of creative activities for your child to participate in. These activities are designed to both stimulate your child’s desire to learn and a desire for them to explore their creative side. Therefore, it can be helpful for you to jump in your child and engage in creative activities when at home. Pull out the coloring books, create unique objects and items with playing dough, or play house or dress-up — whatever it takes to get the creativity flowing.

Empower Your Child

The teachers in our early childhood learning center strive to empower the children in their care as much as possible! Many of our programs and activities are designed to stimulate creativity. As a parent, you should continue to empower your children at home. This means providing them with opportunities, providing resources and art supplies, feeding their natural desire to explore, and encouraging them during the moments when they create something through trial and error as much as possible.

Encourage Resourcefulness

Let’s face it, it’s hard to go shopping without your child practically dragging you to the toy aisles. While you don’t have to purchase a new toy with every trip to the store, if you are going to purchase a new toy, be sure to consider resourcefulness. It’s easy to find pre-assembled toys your child will love, but instead, purchasing toys that allow children to assemble or put things together on their own can help promote a child’s resourcefulness. You’ll be amazed how resourceful your child can be when given the opportunity.

Of course, there are plenty of other ways, in addition to the three above, that can help stimulate your child’s creativity at home. By following these tips, you can help your child discover their creativity skills and abilities quicker.
