If you’re looking for a simple way to set up creative provocations that encourage curiosity and imagination, you will love the Creative Table™ Project. These activities won’t take a lot of time to set up, and while your child creates you can step back while they enjoy the process of exploration.
WHAT IS THE CREATIVE TABLE PROJECT?
The Creative Table™ Project invites you to share an image of a creative invitation, prompt, provocation, or set-up.
The creative table set-ups are simple: Clear a table, place the inspiring materials in an inviting arrangement, and invite a child to create.
There’s no right or wrong way about it. While we may have an idea about how the other person will use the materials, it’s ultimately up to the child to determine the outcome.
