Our ability to create is what drives our world forward. Without creation, there is no progress, and that ability to create is fostered from the very beginning!
As I have studied these patterns for play, I have found within them so many coping strategies! This one in particular. I personally have found so much peace and strength in creating.
First it was the paintings- I found peace in creating beauty out of the chaos of watercolor. (The fruits of which can be found in my shop).
Most recently I have found it in creating a beautiful back yard through hard, physical labor.
There have been many other projects in between.
Each project starts with an idea-my imagination. And the ability to create is taking an idea and making it a reality. If we can help foster this skill in our young ones, they will be so much better for the world! They will have the ability to change it.
Here are some great ways to create with your kiddos!
