"Life is like a ten-speed bike. Most
of us have gears we never use."
- Charles Schulz, cartoonist (1922-2000)

Through our newsletter and articles featured on creativityinstitute.com,
we do everything we can to try to help parents nurture creativity
in their children with helpful hints, advice and suggested activities
and our selection of creativity-nurturing educational toys. Toy pianos can
give a child their first experience with making their own tunes,
and even improvising. Puppet
theaters and stages allow children to put on puppet shows
and experience role playing at various levels. Building
blocks let children create imaginative structures and experiment
with the laws of physics and balance. Child-size
easels and art
supplies let children create visual images that tell stories
and capture moments. These may not be the most advertised toys
of the moment, but the basics these educational toys impart by
encouraging pretend
play and requiring creative
options lay a foundation for creative thought that will follow a child through
life.
At The Creative Institute, it all comes down to this. We don't
believe every child can or should strive to be the next Picasso
or Beethoven. We do believe that every child will benefit from
accessing and developing
his or her own creative resources through these 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, puppet
stages, toy
pianos, easels
and art supplies are so important throughout childhood.
