There is nothing more satisfying and pleasing for children than expressing themselves freely and openly. From the moment they are born, babies are constantly observing, listening, trying to feel their environment and making different experiments. As they grow a little, each new experience and discovery will make them more excited and happy. To support and develop this innate skill with appropriate approaches at an early age will determine the lifelong creativity of children. Creativity at an early age is not limited to art activities.
