When do you doubt your ability to be creative?

When you aren’t feeling a creative spark, try one of these activities you feel drawn to and see if you get inspired:

• Make a collage with old magazines, ads, or pictures
• Act out your favorite story
• Building with blocks or Legos
• Gather natural materials like leaves, flowers, or pebbles to make art
• Put on a puppet show using socks, paper bags, or craft sticks.
• Create with Playdough or clay
• Play dress-up with clothes, accessories, and items you typically wouldn’t wear
• Dance it out!
• Make a scavenger hunt with clues around the house or yard
• Use recyclable materials or “junk” like cardboard boxes, bottle caps, and paper rolls to create something
• Transform old socks into puppets and put on a show
• Use a variety of fruits, vegetables, and other food items to make edible art sculptures and then have a snack
