Play and Grow Smart-er Tips Nancy Pyne-Hapke, author of “Play and Grow Smart, A Guide Supporting Brain Development, Birth through Five,” has been giving tips to aid your child’s optimum skill development through proactive neuroscience-based activities weekly since 2010. These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books. “CREATIVITY” involves imagination, ingenuity, invention/originality, creative thinking, dramatic/visual/musical arts. THE “CRITICAL WINDOW” during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for CREATIVITY is 1 – 4 years with lifelong expression. The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing Creative experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. A few DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING TOOLS (toys and other objects) for CREATIVITY: * blocks * dolls and stuffed animals * sandbox * water * costumes and props * play figures * child-sized dishes and tools * art materials * construction sets * music and instruments Some general CREATIVITY tidbits: * CREATIVITY ..provides for intellectual growth. ..means having the power of self-expression. ..allows exploration of the world through new, fresh eyes. ..is a vehicle for children to feel good about themselves through a sense of mastery, developing self-worth. ..reflects feelings, emotions and imagination. * 4 FORMS of creativity (to be individually discussed): Visual ART, Written/Spoken LANGUAGE, MOVEMENT / MUSIC using the body, Imaginative/Pretending FANTASY. * CREATIVE / IMAGINATIVE Play is the Single Most Important activity for a preschooler! Next to love and lunch, the single most important activity for a parent is to offer a “blank slate” for creative and imaginative play. Next week – “Creativity: Art, pt. 1” Email msmarm@roadrunner.com for more info.
