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. FORMS of creativity: 2- and 3-Dimensional ART, Written/Spoken LANGUAGE, MOVEMENT / MUSIC using the body, Imaginative-Pretending FANTASY. Some general “Creativity: MOVEMENT / MUSIC” tidbits: ** FROM ABOUT 3 years, .. activities using muscles, large and small, are important. .. discover how things feel using the body: what’s the feeling – in the feet landing from a jump? – in the hands when clapping rhythms to a song? – from the air whooshing on the body when spinning around? .. with growing hand control and coordination, Preschooler is interested in perfecting movement skills – going down the slide for hours. – riding a favorite tricycle around and around. ** FROM ABOUT 4, .. having increasing agility, he – runs, jumps, hops on 1 foot. – skips around obstacles with ease. – turns somersaults. – climb ladders and trees. – jumps forward with feet together over objects 5-6″ high. .. (early drama/fantasy play) pretend to be an animal, truck, bouncing ball, an inflated/popped balloon, a jet taking off. .. to different paces of music and/or rhythms: sway, tiptoe, leap, free-form dance, hold long scarves and “fly” like a butterfly. Next week – “Creativity: MUSIC / MOVEMENT, pt. 5” Questions? Email msmarm@roadrunner.com.
