Sense of Creativity

Hello all,
We are born very creative, but as we grow up we are used to things that we see thus we gradually put creativity aside. We like to see things as they usually are. In fact, that is how we remember things, but why don't we use other senses for remembering objects? There are many things you can do to make your child use his/her senses more that she/he usually does. For example, close your child's eyes with a scarf and ask him/her to look for a specific toy in his/her room. Or, hide something and guide him to that object by taping on table. To use your child's sense of smell, make him separate apples from strawberry or cups of milk from cups of water while his eyes are closed. These are good practices for increasing your child's other senses. Creativity start from seeing the whole picture. So, trust yourself! As a parent, you can do many things to make your child develop his creativity. In that case, how wonderful can be when a cereal box become a magazine file? and a cup become a rabbit?
