Experiencing dried-up creativity? All creatives experience the desert of creative block. Take today’s Creative Draino to get the juices flowing again: hang out with some kids.
Children’s brains work differently than ours. Their thirst for knowledge and imaginations cause them to tackle problems with new perspectives. Ask a child to explain the way a plane flies. You’ll see problem-solving that just doesn’t exist in adults.
So spend some time playing with children. Volunteer with your church’s children department. Borrow your sister’s tots. Spend time and explore their ideas and perspectives. Seek to understand why they say and do what they do.
You’ll find some of the most fun and exciting ideas working with kids. You might even want to set a regular play date. Just don’t be creepy about it.
What are some of the interesting ideas you’ve heard kids come up with?
