We encourage with arts and crafts in a variety of ways.
From your every day crafts and coloring to paining, sculpting and creating with tin foil!
Creativity is a skill that all children can learn and it is a vital factor in helping them to become critical thinkers and problem solvers in addition to helping better prepare them for their future.
Crayola wants every child to be creatively alive, so they’re inviting parents “Inside the Crayon Box,” for a special live chat with celebrities and trusted parenting experts that will inspire and spark ideas to expand your child’s creative thinking. If you find yourself looking for new ways to inspire your children to express their ideas and build their creativity, you’ll want to join us to learn and share!
The first “Inside the Crayon Box” live chat is Wednesday, March 7 at 9 p.m. EST (8 p.m. CST). Join Crayola and musician, children’s author and mom, Lisa Loeb for a 45-minute live streaming video chat on the Crayola Facebook page. Lisa, best-known for her number one hit “Stay (I Missed You),” will share as personal stories, practical advice and ways she brings a little creative play into every day for her daughter. We want to hear from you – participants can ask Lisa questions during the event, too!
Lisa will be discussing topics like Why Does Creativity Matter?, Growing Up Creative, and Simple Tips, Easy Ideas.
If you are not able to attend the chat live, do not worry, you can check the session out on the Crayola YouTube Channel
