The Role of Play in Developing Early Childhood Creativity

Abstract

Playing is the most enjoyable activity for children. By playing, children can explore everything that is around to be played. By playing children can develop creativity, help develop imagination and help develop creativity for the child. Play is carried out on the initiative and at the decision of the child himself.  Playing provides opportunities for children to express their creative urges as an opportunity to perceive objects and the challenge of discovering things in new ways to find a different use for something, discover new relationships between something and something else, and interpret it in many alternative ways. Otherwise, play provides an opportunity for individuals to think and act imaginatively, as well as full of imagination which is closely related to the development of children's creativity.
