PLAY & CREATIVITY ?


Play and Creativity ? Do you think it has a strong relationship? Do it really relates to one another?

okay , first let us breakdown what is the meaning of  play and creativity ?

PLAY : An activity for enjoyment or recreation purpose, not a serious purpose
CREATIVITY : Where something new and somehow valuable is formed , not mainstream. 


       Creative play can comes from music , movement , singing , instrument playing , art things and many more. By the two important terms, imagination is needed. When a kid play a block , it needs her/his imagination to make a castle . and when you told by your teacher to be creative to do your art work , the first thing to do is to imagine “if I do it like this, would it be creative enough?

           Imaginary play happens when children use their imaginations to create pretend and make-believe scenarios. Children can engage in this type of play using small toy figures, puppets, dolls, or stuffed animals for example. Or children can act out a particular role themselves and become a part of a play drama. Often, dressing up and using props will be part of this kind of imaginary play. In here they play and also being creative , just like the picture under. Nathania's sister (Me) are playing with her crown and wand she is imagining to be a princess, which shows a strong relation between play and creative.

These are also the example when creativity of a child on her moves are being applied in her dance moves. Even thous she is still 3 years old. But she really creative creating her own dance move and in the same time playing and move move shake shake her body to elaborate with the ryhthm in the music.
