Like creating with their child, but run out of ideas
Can you keep up with the pace of your children's imagination?!

Think about some of the things that you do with your children that work really well, do more of them, and tell other people about it if you can. And use Born Creative Together Creating to find out about what other parents get up to with their children.

Play with children to develop an understanding of their worlds
Your imagination is free. Special times with your children are priceless. Sometimes you pay for professional artists, but the impressions they leave on children can last a lifetime.
What is culture? Exploring, discovering and sharing the things that you value and believe in with your children and other people.
In a big globalised world, identity and community seem more important than ever.
Children are born highly creative and then early years experiences can shape our brains: to be more creative, or less so. 75% of a child’s brain cell connections are formed at age 0-3, influencing the rest of their lives.
Creativity is vital for children’s future careers. Today’s CEOs are concerned about a lack of creativity in tomorrow’s workforce
Creative arts can build confidence, develop rounded personalities, unlock human qualities like expression, support development in language, maths and other areas, and help children to engage with education and learning.
Creative arts support and develop children's natural creativity, feeding their imaginations and helping to develop creative skills
Stand back and watch what your children are doing, tune into their worlds, talk with them about what they’re creating.
