“Creativity is as important now in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status.” Sir Ken Robinson - TED Talk. This book has been designed to stimulate a wealth of creative thought processes in children of all ages and key stages, whilst also being engaging and highly enjoyable to complete. Designed in the style of our calming mindfulness colouring books but with influences from the anti-colouring books also. Contains 41 thought-provoking activities and fun artistic challenges that progressively get more creatively challenging as the book progresses, plus a bonus challenge that is not available in the physical book (which is available from Amazon) plus Teachers' notes and a children's introduction that is full of creativity enhancing ideas. Uses include: for a golden time group, wet play or lunch activities, after school clubs, SEN interventions, gifted and talented pupils (as the creative potential is open ended), starters, art lessons, time filling, explicit creativity enhancing lessons (think Edward de Bono) or just incredibly useful to have "up your sleeve" as a highly educational set of printable activities that requires deeper thinking than "just" colouring in.
