How do you encourage kids to be creative, and why? Creativity is important for kids (and grown-ups) because it allows them to express emotions and problem-solve ideas in new and unique ways. Here are some questions to get your child thinking about creativity:
- Where do you feel most creative?
- If you had a garden, what would you plant in it?
- Would you rather write a book or illustrate its pictures?
- If you baked a cake for a special person, what would it look and taste like?
- If you could invent something to make life better for people, what would it be?

So, grab a box, some markers, or a pail of dirt and get started!
