We do our best to promote creativity and imagination within our kids; it is fun and challenging to think of interesting ways to do this.The best ideas I have come up with so far are to play classical music a lot, and just let them be kids!
I had been worried about Eve, it seemed to me that her imagination was taking a long time to develop. Daniel laughed at me a few months ago when I expressed that worry to him saying, "Andrea, we have sharks swimming on our living room floor. I think she's ok." I laughed and started watching her closer and saw that indeed, she has a vivid imagination. Today was a funny example of it. This is Eve using my egg slicer as her guitar. Any one have any fun ideas to promote creativity in kids?
We had a great time making cookies as well; I love listening to all the chatter when we work together. Plenty of fun was had, plus, some really yummy cookies to eat.

LOL I love those pics....you know with my kids who are 8 years old and 4 years old, one game we always played was the story game.
I would start a story and then give them each a turn to carry on from there, they would come up with the most elaborate and creative stuff I had ever heard LOL Made me feel inadequate and boring compared to their imagination :)
WE also do a lot of crafts, we have drawing time too, we come up with a theme like dogs or garden or something and we all draw. They love it.
Sorry I haven't been by for so long, things have been hectic and I've been sick too.
Hugs,

You say guitar, I say banjo. I can't get the southern out of my blood. ;)

I think Eve has a wonderful Imagination :) I love the bowl on Judah's head in the background the best though.
I'm just stopping by (also an Air Force wife), I think your daughter is very creative to come up with a guitar.
I have a 6 & 9 year old daughters and they have tons of dress up clothes which lead to all kinds of imaginative play. I also let them do a lot of arts and crafts. I save all kinds of odds and ends and they create all sorts of sculptures and scenes. You're doing a great job Mom!
