ASSESSMENT 3
1- Planing four creative experiences to foster children's creativity
Creative experience 1-
The first experience is created in term of developing self-expression, by offering
individual children's opportunity to play with sand. It can be said that sand play is one of those
fantastic chances for aged 0-2 years old children's, through which they may gain creative
experience in term of creating a sand castle in proper structure (Yaghoobian and Emadian, 2019).
Furthermore, tutors also take initiative to engage children's in creative techniques where they
may apply their creativity, which in turn contribute to foster their creativeness.

Teachers are also accountable to create great experience that might be created in term of
providing walking path obstacle as activity to aged 2-3 children's that help to foster their positive
self concept as child feel confident when they walk properly and do not fall down at the end
(Özdemir, 2019).
Creative experience 3
Another creative experience is collaborated with other children, that teachers may plan to
create for kinder age group in effective manner in term of giving them a puzzle game (Amalia,
2019). They may take approach to solve the turtle puzzle on the table and try to do that with
other children's as well. It may give them a positive creative experience and boost their
confidence level.

Creative experience 4
Fourth creative experience is related to encouragement of creative expression, regarding
which teachers may contribute in form of providing a task to aged 0-2 child to made Christmas
tree with glue and glitters. The complication of this task may give each child great feeling of
being a creative individual.

3- Providing my experience plans to room leader or workplace supervisor to review and approve.
Experience plan refer to set of key elements, actions and procedures that used to conduct
a strategic activity. It emphasizes what a service or practice may do more than how it might be
work or what it may look in specific manner. I had conducted practice to develop specific and
strategic plan for each of four creative experiences regarding toddlers, aged 2-3, 0-2, and kinder
group 3. After getting approval, I prefer and plan further activities that will conduct further in
systematic and appropriate way.
4- Using plans developed, implement four creative experiences in workplace.
It is quite essential to implement 4 chosen creative experiences in work area, which
enhance the performance, ability and creativity among different age group children's, who tend
to become creative and learn something new in term of skills and more. Each creative experience
is implement to boost creativity among individual child.
For example, the first creative experience is self-expression that tutors may attempt to
create or implement in term of providing children's task to play with sand and make a castle. It
may encourage them to express their creativity in form of making a perfect castle according to
their perception and assumptions. In order to examine this form of learning, they may take
approach to utilize specific method and that is communication. It may drive their attention
toward interacting with children's and ask questions about what they are trying to make, etc.
Another creative experience is positive self-concept, that supporter's effort to implement
in term of using specific activity and providing the same to children's in which they may have to
engage themselves. The method to evaluate their learning, regarding this concept is path obstacle
that they may cross by walking straightly.
Teachers may implement third creative experience such as collaboration in term of
providing puzzles to children's that they may have to solve in appropriate and systematic manner.
It may give them chance to learn who to collaborate with other toddlers who are also conducting
the similar activity to solve their puzzles by playing individually or in a group. They may

measure the technique to evaluate children's learning during implementation of current
experience in form of determining their effectiveness related to collaborative activity or practice.
The fourth experience is implement in way to provide some resources that children's may
use to show their creativity such as glitters, glue and other essential things that they utilize to
décor a Christmas tree. When they accomplish this task, teacher may take benefit in term of
understanding or monitoring their learning, regarding similar activity.
