According to Piaget’s theory, creativity in children is essential for the development of their abilities. He indicated that creativity includes inventing and that childhood was the creative phase. Another vital contribution of Piaget is that education should train creative, innovative, inventive people and non-conformists.

That leads us to think and analyze the importance of allowing children to develop their imagination, dream, generate innovative ideas that they can contribute, acquire tools through an education that helps form creative and imaginative children.

Children’s imagination is one of the most valuable capacities since it allows children to dream, improve self-esteem, transform reality, and find solutions in difficult moments. Parents can help transfer knowledge.

Remember that parents are the best example and children learn and imitate behaviors that come from their family context; that’s why they must be surrounded by an environment where they can stimulate creativity,

In a second instance, the school contributes significantly to developing cognitive, affective, social, and motor skills. On the other hand, the social context will allow them to relate to others as friends, partners, acquaintances. Here is where they will have to plan strategies and use their creativity, enabling them to solve any problem.

Some of the techniques to stimulate creativity are games. Children are curious and imaginative; playing games allows them to acquire tools to develop skills for understanding and creativity. Children’s literature helps the imagination and the development of skills to strengthen creativity.

Brainstorming is used to generate ideas and respect the points of view of others without censoring them. Create stories allows the imagination to fly and acquire tools to facilitate creativity. Play-Doh helps to generate creativity, new ideas, new concepts. Finally, conflict resolution allows solving problems through different points of view in a group way.
