When I was growing up, it seemed like "imagination," and "creativity," were my dual middle names. From a very young age, I was making up stories and even thinking up alternate worlds or cultures where anything could happen. Unfortunately, however, I was born in such a time that imagination was going out of style. Little girls my age were beginning to think of wearing the best clothes and doing their hair in the most fashionable and pretty way. But the truth is that imagination and creative thinking are tools for success throughout our lives! So if your little tyke is trying to conform to the norm instead of being his/her own person, it's time to put the advice I'm about to offer to good use!The first step may seem rather obvious, but you would be surprised at how many moms and dads don't do this anymore: play with your kids!

While various age groups learn by using different material, one thing is true for all age groups: Kids learn best with toys.The argument on how best to teach kids with toys remains an ongoing debate. Some say that you should just purchase loads of toys for your child and let them play as they please. Others say you should only purchase toys that improve your child's skills that are necessary for development and make sure they play in a supervised environment.At a young age, children do not like learning by sitting in a classroom and listening to a lecture. They want to be able to build things, make their own worlds, and imagine things that can never come true. Thus is the power of toys. If you buy them a set of LEGOS or building blocks, they will be able to construct their own world and learn a few things along the way.
