Creative Play
What is Creative Play
Creating a finished or perfect product isn’t the most important. Allowing your child to explore his creative impulses, express himself and create something is the key. Craft activities might be a bit messy, but it gives children a sense of ownership of their decisions and crafts.
Our Creative Play programmes encourages children to express their thoughts, experiences or ideas through various sensorial activities in our Nature Explorers programme and develop their sensory, fine and gross motor skills through Little Troopers programme.
Goals of Creative Play
Boosts motor skills and improve rhythm and movement when actions are linked to nursery rhymes.
Develop auditory skills such as discriminating between sounds and developing the ear for the music of words.
Speeds up brain development and develop the fine art of eye-hand coordination.
Instil the love for nature in children.
Engage children in imaginative play through arts and crafts and other fun activities.
Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate and explore.
