Save more on these Creativity Institute specials!

 
At The Creative Institute, we do everything we can to try to help parents appreciate and nurture creativity in their children. We've written and put together newsletters and articles full of helpful hints, advice and suggested activities and built our toy store selection to feature a selection of creativity-nurturing educational toys. Our goal is not to necessarily have the most advertised toys of the moment, but a selection of educational toys that encourage pretend play and that present children with creative options, laying a foundation for creative thought that will follow a child through life.

Toy pianos can give a child their first experience with making their own music, and even improvising. Puppets and puppet theaters and stages allow children to experience role-playing at various levels as they put on puppet shows. Building blocks let children create imaginative structures while experimenting with balance and the laws of physics. Art supplies and child-size easels let children create visual images that tell stories, capture moments and freely express themselves.

The Creative Institute doesn't believe that every child can or should strive to be the next Picasso or Beethoven. But we do believe that every child will benefit from accessing and developing his or her own creative resources through these creative techniques and with educational toys and playthings. Creative ability at any level can enhance life satisfaction and career success, no matter what occupational avenue your child ultimately chooses. And this is the advantage we all wish for our children and why such basic creative toys as building blocks, puppets, toy pianos, soft climbers, easels and art supplies are so important throughout childhood. From quality brand names such as Children's Factory, Schoenhut, Guidecraft, KidKraft, Beka, Edushape, HaPe, Alex and more.
