Disclosure: I received no compensation for this publication. My opinions are my own and may be different than yours. Pea of Sweetness is not responsible for prize fulfillment.
Let them actually do something instead of just telling them how it should be done.
entering from posts from peo of sweethess .. time,multiple supplies and encouragement. And humour!
Make everything as hands on as possible.
I like the kids to try new things and to experiment and no question is a dumb question. we’ll just see what happens!
I think that when you use visual effects that teaches creatively. I am raising a granddaughter that is eleven and I have learned that it works very well.
I encourage them to explore with multiple resources. I also give them opportunities to “teach” me ways they think would best help them to learn new things.
Hands on is key! Lots of sensory activities for the little ones.
I think children are naturally creative. If you give them activities and let them play and use their imaginations, their creativity will shine.
Find a way to make learning an active experience.
The best way to teach creatively is to encourage!!!
hands on is the best…
What a wonderful curriculum set 🙂
change from hands on to lecture to watching just change it up
My best tip is to be flexible! You can find a learning opportunity in everything!
I do not think you can teach creativity.I allow my 4 kids to explore and do what come naturally.I encourage them to try new things and do what comes naturally.
We just adjust how to teach to each of our kids personalities. I try to stay creative by teaching them in ways I wasn’t taught as a child.
I think rather than teach you introduce things to children and they will explore and learn from there.
Let them explore and learn, it is an adventure
to teach creatively i lead them to the discoveries and the learning in a fun and creative way!
To teach creativity just let the kids do hands on!!
I try to teach my kids to think creatively by helping them see a situation from all sides and or perspectives. I try to teach them to be creative by letting them make a mess, get dirty, be loud, and make discoveries on their own.
Give general directions and let them go with it.
