Every day, we consciously use activities, lay out and play materials to encourage creativity. Crafting, building or dreaming away in a fantasy game are all part of this.

Spatial awareness
Making constructions
Tinkering
Building
With this building block, children develop or learn:
When we make a tree, your child decides what kind of tree it should be and what colours the tree will be. Of course, colouring within the lines is good for motor skills, but that is also possible when the child has first drawn the tree himself. That is why we prefer not to give colouring pictures, but choose an activity where children can express their creativity.
Room for creativity
The end result is not the most important thing. It is precisely the fun, discovery, fantasizing and self-creation that are central to the activities we do within this building block. For example, holding a infant to create a perfect handprint, and drawing a butterfly around it, does not contribute to creativity and imagination. But allowing an infant to feel the paint himself and move his hand over the cardboard does. Your child discovers that paint feels wet and cold and marvels at the beautiful colours that the paint leaves behind on the cardboard.
It is the process that counts!
Creating something by yourself, thinking critically about how you are going to do it and which construction material would be the best choice to make your project successful. You discover these kinds of things mainly by trying it all. You learn by doing. We give the children all the room they need to stimulate their imagination. And it is not only about crafting beautiful things, but about thinking freely, coming up with new ideas and solutions and experimenting with different materials. We choose materials that suit the experience and (brain) development of children.
Spark your imagination!
Cutting, pasting, knitting, gardening or building difficult constructions with blocks. Working with your hands makes you resourceful and it helps developing fine motor skills, spatial awareness and relaxation. It really puts the creative and critical brain to work and lets you recharge.
