CREATIVITY-AT-HOME: Resource Brochure — by Jason Blair This brochure was designed to help exercise and grow children’s creative muscles at home. All children are born with creative potential. In order for that creative potential to stretch and grow, we must provide rich opportunities and environments for them to experiment, play and engage their creative capacities in new and exciting ways. Inside this brochure, you will find several sections to spark ideas and uncover possibilities. The brochure is organized into 4 sections. It is designed to enter at any section and jump around freely throughout its pages. It also encouraged to see what ideas each section sparks for you, follow your creative path and unlock your own creative potential in the process.
Section 1: CREATIVITY-AT-HOME This section features several open-ended creativity challenges for the whole family. Several of the challenges have links to an example video that will help explain the challenge further. Remember, you don’t have to follow these challenges exactly, you might want to change them up, combine them or invent your own!
Section 2: ONLINE ART This section features links to various digital art making tools. Each site has unique opportunities to stretch your creative muscles. While all of these sites are child friendly, practice cyber-safety and preview all online links before letting children use them.
