Elize Bridewell Unit 21: Children’s Imaginative Play and Creativity 15/10/2018Children’s Imaginative Play and
Creativity.
The benefits of creative and imaginative play for children’s
learning and development:
(P1) The benefits of creative and imaginative play in terms of
children’s learning and the development that this can bring to
the children. I have been able to see creative and imaginative
play take place in my placement, as I have been able to see the
ways that creative and imaginative play can impact the children
in a positive way in a first-hand experience. For example, with
the setting that I am in they have different areas in the room to
ensure that they are covering each area of the children
development. They have got an area for messy play, role play, small world, sensory play and
there is a home corner with books and toys that teach the concepts and numbers. I would
say that this benefits the children’s imaginative and creative play as all these resources
encourage the children to use their imagination, such as the role play area where they can
pretend to cook with the food, make drinks and wash up, this encourages their imagination
to be used. The small world enables the children to be able to think creatively as they can
create their own little world and create a story line to go with it, this also incorporates their
imaginative learning to be used.
Links to theorists:
By spending time in placement I have been able to
observe the different ways that the staff and I can help
encourage children to be creative and imaginative and
the various ways that I can help benefit their learning in
a fun and interesting way. While being observant in
placement I have picked up on methods such as when a
creative activity has been set up for the children to take
part, to encourage the children to take part the staff would model how you could take part
by drawing something or making an example piece of work for the children to get ideas
from. I have seen this be effective within setting as some children need that extra support
where they are sat with an adult taking part until they get comfortable enough to do it by
their selves, this method can be linked to Bruner and his scaffolding theory. As in my
example, you can see that the staff were supporting the way in that the child was learning
and at the same time was gathering information on how to further their learning and
development by assessing them.
