I absolutely love teaching children to be creative as it also teaches them to think for themselves.
You can teach a child anything creative that is new to them and they love it.
When you start something you let them carry on and tell them what they make will make them happy and they will surprise everyone.
Creative children get this feeling on inside that you cannot describe as it is so fulfilling. Creative children surprise you sometimes so much that you can hardly believe it.
We all love athletics where children run fast and play good netball as well as other things like hockey. But when a child makes something on their own, they feel so proud and they know they did it because that is the feeling they got when they start it.
Creativity is in every child, some just have others than athletics.
Why do I love it so much? Because a child that can make something on their own feel wonderful.
As it is not something that is done in a team and they can therefore say look I made this.
When children enjoy school and are happy, there is no better feeling that a teacher can get.
There are not really subjects I do not like but what makes creativity so nice is there are no rules and they can really enjoy themselves.
Other subjects are also very important, but they have to learn so much and it is important to give them something they can do without rules and just enjoy.
Take maths as an example, there are so many rules that they have to learn and remember.
They have to know their multiplication table and so many other things that keep them busy.
I really feel sorry for them, but do realise that if they do not know their rules they will never understand maths.
That is the reason I prefer to teach children creative things to do.
Their little faces with that wonderful smile when they have made something and come and show you is really the reason why I really love it.
So art, needlework, woodwork and how to make their own toys is really my favourite subject.
I hope there are more people who feel this way and may you have a wonderful day from me.
