Keeping Children’s Creativity Alive

by Marie on January 12, 2009

I first wrote about “The Purpose of Play” and kid’s creativity when I was a guest mom at Design Mom last April. I feel it’s so important and am a huge advocate for children and enhancing their creativity, that I’m re-posting this video by Sir Ken Robinson (first seen at Bella Dia). It’s a little long, but try to make it 5-6 minutes in. He’s funny, making you laugh while bringing in the importance of being creative!

Thank you for posting this. I’ve seen it before but watched it again. What a great reminder that there’s more to kids than organized education.

What a fun speaker. I love how he said creativity is just as important as education. Thanks for linking to this video.
