The Creative Arts for Infants and Toddlers
Course Instructor
Infants and toddlers engage their creativity and curiosity in many different ways to better understand the world around them and find a way to express their feelings. For children who may not yet have the ability to communicate verbally, creative experiences can be the most effective way for them to express what they are feeling. Opportunities for developing creativity are provided to infants and toddlers as sensory experiences or creative arts. In this course, we will explore creativity for young children, specifically including the areas of art, music, and movement for infants and toddlers. These activities enhance children’s creativity and boost their ability to analyze, problem solve, and practice fine motor skills, along with improved cognitive skills.
