CREATIVE FAVOURITES
Creative favourites
Drawing, colouring, crafting and playful ways to turn ideas into something they can see and share.
WHY CREATIVE PLAY?
Ideas, expression and hands-on discovery
Creative toys give children space to experiment, make decisions and express themselves in their own way.
Self-expression
Creative play gives children a simple way to show ideas, moods and imagination.
Visual Thinking
Choosing colours, shapes and patterns helps children make decisions and notice detail.
Fine Motor Skills
Drawing, threading, placing and crafting all give little hands useful practice.
Open-ended Play
There is rarely one right answer, so children can follow their own ideas.
HELPFUL QUESTIONS
For grown-ups shopping for budding artists
Look for open-ended creative toys, drawing activities, craft sets and playthings that let children choose colours, patterns and outcomes for themselves.
Creative play supports fine motor skills, decision-making, concentration and self-expression while remaining enjoyable and child-led.
Creative toys exist for a wide range of ages. Check each product for its recommended age and any guidance about small parts or adult supervision.
Choose something they can start using quickly and return to often. Open-ended materials and activities usually offer more replay value than a one-use project.
