One thing I like to do with children is do fun things where they can creative things and have fun while they are using their imagination. It helps people to use their brain to come up with different things and way to be creative. I always had paints, markers and crayons in my house for the children to make things. Even now when my greatgrandchildren come they can create things in my house.

It is really nice to have a place where children can let loose their imagination and create based on what they want.

@jstory07 And they could really surprise with things we never know it should be or could have been. For an example a shape of an elephant which we do not see till much later when we start to think in their perspective.

You're right. My Mom always did that with my daughter. The two were very close.

I am glad they were close. Kids need their grand parents in their life.

Being creative is multi layer thing, I think, with many different aspects involved. I find a good walk or cycle very helpful and at home dabbling with pencils and paint brushes are good. Even working on the computer allows for trains of thought. I usually keep an notepad and pen handy for just that

It's great that you encourage the creativity of the children Judy. Children need to be able to express their creativity. As you say it does indeed help people use the brain more.

That's so cool. I don't remember that being the case in my grandparents' houses. Of course, my parents were products of the Depression, so things were much different back then for them and their parents.

Being an only child I would sit to watch a TV show with a picture book in my lap and a box of crayons and a coloring book nearby, I always had to be doing something creative or reading,

That's such a wonderful way to encourage imagination and creativity! Having an open space with paints, markers, and crayons is a gift for kids — it lets them express themselves freely and have fun while learning. Your great-grandchildren must love those moments with you!
