“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.

This is not just any old countdown timer. It is a video that has professional quality sound designed climactic audio alongside fun number images, each one complete with mathematical information to aid the learning of number facts. This 10 second countdown timer enables teachers and other adults the chance to make any task completion into a fun game. See if your class can complete whatever task it is before the timer gets to zero and the alarm sounds! Give the first child or house (red, green etc) a reward for being the first to finish! Or even better the last house or child ready loses a point/merit if you are in the mood for making this game seriously fun and addictive for your class! Some Possible Uses Once your class gets used to it they will know that the timer means to stop what they are doing and silently sit still at zero, but you must heavily praise and reward compliance when you introduce it. • Get your class to put away their books and sit arms folded in silence ready for the next lesson to begin. • Get your class to finish tidying up after a messy creative lesson. • Time for the class to finish their sentence they are writing and put their pencil down and fold their arms in silence. • Time to carefully come down and sit on the floor or carpeted area to learn from the interactive whiteboard or hear a story. • Time to line up for assembly. • The last ten seconds of changing for P.E • Use it to signify the end of silent reading – you won’t even need to speak! • Use it as a quick time for a mini partner based discussion.
