have chosen (that is, there should be three separate activities).
Three material and activities used by children to show creativity are as follows -
 Stone – there are various activities for the children to make creative activities one of them
is stone, make children try to paint upper case and lower case letters with an acrylic
paints on small flat beach stone, which looks more attractive. After the paint was dry then
ask children to quick coat of spray and varnish to weather proof them. Younger children
may explore the letters through play on the other side older children can form sight words
with them.
 Leaves - Making a fall collage with finds from the garden and garden is a wonderful way
for toddlers and preschoolers to explore fall leaves and flowers. Not to mention, it’s a lot
of fun prep-ping for this fall art project because it starts with a nature walk. An activity
like this can fill the better part of a fall morning – the walk, sorting your treasures,
creating the backdrop for your collage (it’s a really fun paint process) and then gluing all
the items on to make gorgeous piece of autumn art.
 Flower Petals - Younger children are more likely to paint and making project they
pretend to be a flower growing in the sunshine. For that they need to cut out some centre
of dinner paper plates. This must be the large enough for the child face, invite children to
glue the flowers then they need to cut the paper all around the rim of the plate. Then for
support provide one wooden crafty stick and use of heavy black tape to the back of the
plate. Then they make their own facing of flowers and pretend them itself as flowers.

c. Introduce children to this type of music -
 Play music throughout the day. Many people use TVs as a way of calming down or
entertaining a child, but you can use music for the same purpose instead.[2] Whether
you're at home or in the car, chances are you have access to music. Simply let it play in
the background while you two go about your daily business and your child will be
automatically immersed.
 Go to children's concerts. Although concerts for adults are not generally recommendable
for toddlers, there has in recent years been a rise in what are known as children's concerts.
 Give them musical instruments and musical toys. Certain books and toys will play music
at the touch of a button or a squeeze. This can be a stimulating option for very young
children. Although we usually think of musical instruments as being expensive, too
fragile, or too complicated for toddlers, there are definitely cheaper, easy options for
youngsters that will let them experiment with creating their own music.
Activity 4
1. Children at a childhood education and care service often use clay and associated
equipment. At the end of an activity an educator tells the children to put the clay away. How
effective is this in instilling a sense of ownership and responsibility for equipment and
materials? What would you suggest the educator do? (100–150 words)
Learning environment enhance the ownership and foster the learning skills. This reflects
the respect and the importance of recent trends. Learning opportunities for students are very
much important and effective towards the task. For that they need to adopt some new learning
skills and approach to make student more knowledge and understandable towards the
opportunities. It is the integral part of the curriculum or leisure based programmes. New
learning environment may reach the new learning skills and growth, and educator needs to adopt
new skills and to make session more interactive.
Steps the Educator should follow -

 Modelling Behaviour - We model the behaviour we expect to see, as children pick up
even the smallest cues. If you walk around and step over things rather than picking things
up/resetting, the children will copy the behaviour. We are role models and it is important
to teach children how to take care of things.
 Providing positive reinforcement - Providing positive reinforcement builds on a child’s
confidence. As Educators and Teachers, we avoid phrases that begin with the word
“don’t” such as “don’t throw that”, and instead try saying “let’s pick it up”, and ask
questions such as “where does this go? Can we put it back together?” We aim to create a
positive culture where children want to look after their learning environment. Provide Visual Examples - At Explorers, we display visual examples of how each space
should look. The children are able to refer to these images to help them reset the learning
environment to its original state once they have finished using it. We also display
encouraging statements in each learning space to help our Educators prompt the children
as to how they could use the space.
2. A child engaged in an art activity places foreign objects into a glue bottle (eg glitter, scraps
of paper, pencil shavings). They have done this before and have been warned against doing it
in the future. What should the educator do to teach the child a sense of responsibility for
equipment and materials? Provide a detailed response. (100–150 words)
There are various ways an educator can teach children a sense of responsibility for equipment
which are as follows -
 Helps children to make them feel a sense of possession of their own things.
 Enhance the role of open ended, promote the use of natural materials and make them
available for the children use.
 Make attractive things and equipments and try to encourage towards creative expressions
and make them accessible to children.
 Make role model of the children by creating improvising with material and equipments.
Activity 5
1. Define improvisation as it pertains to creativity. (75–100 words)

Improvisation is the alternation or improvement in something, it is the positive sign of
performing something tremendous good and effective. Improvisation is the art of getting things
in effective manner. It makes new ideas and creativity in working. It is the result of without
specific or scripted preparation. These skills of betterment may use by the artist, physical,
cognitive, academic, and non academic disciplines. It is the process in which execution is done
without any preparation.
2. You have been asked to role model creativity by showing children what you would create
from a paper plate. What would you make? Provide a list of steps that you would follow when
making your creation and provide details of any other resources that would be needed. (75–
100 words)

from elastic threat and then here is your bunny mask is ready.
Activity 6
1. A child creates a picture of their house. In the picture the child has included a picture
of their garden. The flowers in the garden are almost the same size as the house. The
educator tells the child that the flowers are much too big. The child responds that they
really like flowers and they wish the flowers in their garden were that big. The educator
tells the child that they should redraw the picture with the flowers being portrayed
realistically. Write a paragraph of approx. 100 words in which you comment on
whether the educator is allowing the child to communicate their own original ideas,
interpretations and expressions.

The educator is not allowing the children to portray or communicate their own ideas,
expressions or interpretations. This can be proved by observing that the educator ask them to
redraw the picture of the house saying that the flowers are too big. This shows that educ tor
want the children to draw smaller flowers. But the children likes big flowers which shows
they wanted to draw big flowers according to their ideas and expressions.2. An educator tells children that they are going to make their own imaginary animal or
creature. They tell children that they should make their animal as crazy and weird as
possible. The educator has supplied a large range of materials and equipment for the
children to use and tells them to spread out around the room so they have enough
space to make their creatures. They also tell children to take their time. Write a
paragraph of approx. 100 words in which you comment on whether the educator is
allowing the children to communicate their own original ideas, interpretations and
expressions.
In this case the educator really wants children to communicate their own ideas and
expressions by making their own imaginary animal or creature. The educator allowed
children to make animals according to their choices and imagination without asking them to
make a specific or particular animal or creature. He also provided suitable items and space to
children for making the animals which clearly shows he wants children to use their
imagination and ideas in creating the art.
Activity 7
1. Across the road, building work is being carried out. A child points to a bulldozer and
says, ‘What’s that?’ The educator replies, ‘That’s a bulldozer.’ The child asks, ‘What

answer? (100–150 words)
The Educator should explain the child that the bulldozers is the powerful machine which
helps to move heavy parts and machines from one place two another. Besides, they help to
move heavy rocks, debris, etc. bulldozers is the kind of job in road building companies.
Generally in construction, demolition and farming. Its design according to their work large
steel blades to carry heavy and large equipments. It drives by the powerful diesel designs. He
should also tell the child that bulldozers are very useful to carry large machines or rocks, or

its is the short transportation of material. It also helps to dumped from lorry or rough grading,
removing trees , stumps etc. this machine is very much helpful for construction companies.2. A child is playing with a toy cash register. They are trying to get the drawer of the cash
register to open but have not succeeded. The child asks the educator, ‘How open?’
How would you recommend the educator help the child to find their own answer?
(100–150 words)
The educator should first improvise the method to open the cash register and let the
children see how he did it. He used let them see how to make use of the keys for opening the
drawer of the cash register. Improvising the use of key for opening drawer will help children
to learn and attain the idea of how the drawer get opened with the use keys.
Activity 8
1. Create a conversation an educator might have with a group of four-year-old children
that encourages children to talk about their creations, shares enthusiasm for creative
work and encourages children to respect and appreciate the creative work of peers.

soon learn to hurry up. What would you tell them about the need to allow time for
children to be creative over days or weeks and why educators should adopt a creative
approach to routines? (100–150 words)
The Educators should effectively make colleague understand that children needs time to
analyse and adopt various things such as the timetable. Forcing them to adopt a strict
timetable is not at good for the children as it will negatively affect and harm a child's
comfort. The educator should ask the colleague to use a creative approach to routines. The
educator should tell their colleague that routines are important because they give children a
sense of security and control over their environment. Children learn what to expect at various
times in the day and as they begin to participate in these routines, they will experience a
sense of control and satisfaction at being able to perform part of or all of the tasks associated
with the routine. Routine activities are the most important for the children to make new
things and innovative activities. Overall it makes new changes and make new ways to adopt
new learning and proves children learn so many things in day to day activities, like new
learning and get new knowledge, When children get into the various routine activities they

Curiosity is a key element of learning. It prompts learning yet in addition to the capacity
to make associations among different snippets of data. For parents of curious kids, it's less
important to have the "right" answers and more important to create an environment where
questioning -- and learning -- can occur.
 It’s a high complement to the hard skill set.
 It cultivates an active mind.
