Have you heard of the creativity can? Neither had I until I received my daily newsletter from A-List Moms. As a response to a study that revealed that creativity in kids is on the decline, Creavity for Kids has launched a "creativity comeback"! As a lover of all things crafty I absolutely love this idea. The Creativity Can is available at most Gepetto's locations in San Diego.
From their website
Starting with the premise that “creativity can make anything possible,” we developed the “Creativity Can™.” This is an actual cardboard can filled with pom poms, wood sticks, googly eyes, feathers and other colorful materials that stimulate kids to use their imaginations and create whatever they like. The materials, though simple and familiar, are thoughtfully selected to inspire maximum creativity. The only instructions are to have fun and be as creative as you can be. There is no right or wrong way to use the materials. So far, we”ve even seen children using the can itself and the results are awesome. Kids have created amazing, fantastic and unique objects and characters, often with imaginative narratives. Our goal is that thousands of kids will enjoy this experience, share their creations with others and demonstrate the tremendous power and joy of creativity.
The Creativity Can is available
FREE this spring and summer at participating retailers in the US and Canada. To find a store in your area along with all the information you need about how to be part of the creativity comeback, go to
creativtitycan.com. Because we know how much children love to share their creations, we”ve set up a site for them to post their pictures and also to see what thousands of other kids have done. Each time someone shares their creation, Creativity for Kids will make a donation to the
LilySarahGraceFund, which supplies art and creativity materials to under-funded public elementary schools around the country. Every child also has a chance to be selected in a monthly drawing for
FREE Creativity for Kids products.
