    7 Ways to Encourage Your Toddler's Creativity

    Creativity comes naturally to us humans, as a part of our development in how we learn, how we listen, how we make life enjoyable. Engaging your kids in art and craft activities may seem simple (or not … we all know it can get really messy, really fast), but the effects on a child's emotional, mental and spiritual growth can be directly related to their freedom to be creative. In other words, the importance of creative development is that it enables your child to succeed. Not just at making something, but in achieving multiple levels of skill development, stimulating their minds and finding new ways to express themselves. Here are 7 ways to encourage your toddler's creativity! - By Selena Burgess

      Save their works of art and make an wall dedicated to displaying it all somewhere in your home for them. I've chosen a one downstairs in their playroom, with not a care to how it messes with my 'decor'. I'd rather like to think it adds a whimsical charm and matches the toys constantly strewn about anyways. A quick and attractive way to display your kids art is to use cotton or hemp string leads secured to your wall with push pins on either end. Think clothesline. Exemplified by using clothespins to hang their pieces onto the string.
