PLAY & CREATIVITY ?

Play and Creativity ? Do you think it has a strong relationship? Do it really relates to one another?

okay , first let us breakdown what is the meaning of  play and creativity ?

PLAY : An activity for enjoyment or recreation purpose, not a serious purpose
CREATIVITY : Where something new and somehow valuable is formed , not mainstream. 

       Creative play can comes from music , movement , singing , instrument playing , art things and many more. By the two important terms, imagination is needed. When a kid play a block , it needs her/his imagination to make a castle . and when you told by your teacher to be creative to do your art work , the first thing to do is to imagine “if I do it like this, would it be creative enough?

           Imaginary play happens when children use their imaginations to create pretend and make-believe scenarios. Children can engage in this type of play using small toy figures, puppets, dolls, or stuffed animals for example. Or children can act out a particular role themselves and become a part of a play drama. Often, dressing up and using props will be part of this kind of imaginary play. In here they play and also being creative , just like the picture under. Nathania's sister (Me) are playing with her crown and wand she is imagining to be a princess, which shows a strong relation between play and creative.
