What’s the top ten items that must be included in a Dressing Up Box?

by Matthew Worwood
written by Matthew Worwood

As most of us know, the ability to use fantasy is one of the characteristics we associate with creativity. It’s obviously closely related to the use of our imagination and was included by E. Paul Torrance, in his creativity skill set (usually referred to as the Beyond or Leap Skills).

I sometimes worry that I nurture my three-year olds fantasy world too much. He always appears engaged in an imaginary world full of fairies, mermaids, and icy powers (obviously we’re still nurturing a Frozen kick), he loves to dress up to play in this world, and this has got me thinking about the need to drastically improve our dressing up box, but what to include? Dressing up is a wonderful way to encourage fantasy, challenge the imagination, and provide an easy clear up at the end of the game. I’m proud to say that I was playing dress up a lot older than the average boy. I remember a group of friends knocking at my door unexpectedly to ask if I wanted to hang out. I opened the door to shock and ore, as they realized that I was dressed up as a park ranger. I tried to close the door but they burst in, I grabbed a small rug and tried to rap it around me, but there were too many of them and my costume was quickly exposed. On reflection I should be happy that I didn’t grow up in a world of smartphones. An image would have been captured and shared on Facebook instantly. Writing this I’m actually realizing that my life might have been very different had an image had the chance to go viral around my school. But still, this incident has not stopped me being a proponent for dressing up, and so we need to get back to my initial conversation on what to include in a dressing up box. Below is a list of 10 items that I think are important to include in any dressing up box. It should be noted that many of these items were in my dressing up box and so might be a little boy orientated. They’re also a lot of accessories, but ultimately in the imaginary world it will be these we utilize in our game and not the actual clothes on our back.

In no particular order:

  1. A big belt: As a boy I remember big belts were always utilized in my costumes. They’d be thrown over my neck to hold my sword, or around my waist to hold weapons, walkie-talkies, handcuffs, etc. I even made use of two of two large belts in my Halloween costume a few weeks ago. I was dressed up as a Lost Boy.
  2. Dirty white shirt: You’ll be surprised how a white shirt can provide a base to many costumes.
  3. Long pair of socks (soccer/football socks): These are not just for the feet. A long pair of socks can double up as wrist guards, bandages, bombs, boots etc.
  4. Cowboy hat: From cowboys, to sheriffs, to Indiana Jones.
  5. Bow and arrow: An outlaw like Robin Hood
  6. Sword: Endless possibilities
  7. Walkie-Talkie: Ranger, explorer, law enforcement, military, etc
  8. Fairy Wings: My son’s favorite at the moment.
  9. Necklace: Another one of my son’s favorites, but I remember having one myself, though Princess Sophia wasn’t around then so mine wasn’t so magical.
  10. Cape: Knight, prince/princess, superhero, outlaw, etc.

I’m excluding the dressing up packets you can get from Toys R Us, such as doctor kit, police kit, army kit, etc.

Get your creativity on this Halloween

by Matthew Worwood
written by Matthew Worwood

This Web site is a discussion on how we might nurture and cultivate creative thinking at home. Naturally this discussion evolves around our children and ways we can engage the characteristics most often associated with creativity, such as the imagination, curiosity, a tolerance for ambiguity, originality, and the ability to produce and consider many alternatives.

However, lets change things up a little and talk about how we as parents might better engage our own creativity? It’s probably most associated with problem-solving, coming up with new strategies to get your three-year old to sleep through the night, or how you might balance family life over a professional deadline. These are all great conversations, but I’m writing to promote one thing today – make a costume for Halloween!

Over the last couple of years I’ve noticed that most Halloween costumes have been purchased, and not made. This time of year they’re on sale at the likes of Costco, Target, Wallmart, and even Pottery Barn. There’s great deals to be had online, and unique costumes to be bought at Web sites like Esty and eBay. It’s easier to buy, it’s harder to make! But buying is not as creative, and making.

Last year my son wanted to be a plane, it was a great problem to have and challenged our creativity to the max. We had one weekend to come up with an idea on how we can turn our son into a flying machine. I confess my wife took the lead and searched out designs online, while I gathered boxes. The outcome can be seen in the picture above. The costume was a huge hit among our neighbors and I was most proud of my wife’s creative accomplishments.

Time is a massive factor when it comes to making a costume and I recognize it just isn’t always possible, but even if you go down the purchased route, try to avoid the purchase of a complete costume and instead try and buy it pieces, or make accessories that take it to the next level.

What’s more, the making of a costume is a great family activity to engage the imagination. It goes beyond artwork and into genuine problem-solving. For example, this year my boy wants to be a dragon skeleton that breaths fire. My wife is working on getting him to change his mind, but I already have a prototype of a head, and now need to problem-solve how we can get the head to breath fire.

If it’s too late and you’ve purchased your costume, be sure to at least make note of the homemade costumes on display that night, and maybe snap and share a few pictures to use as inspiration for next year.

Creativity ≠ Getting A’s on Every Assignment

by Dads for Creativity
written by Dads for Creativity

Miles Davis is one of my favorite musicians. He once went to an LA Lakers game. Miles didn’t exactly see the game the way most fans do. He heard the game. He listened to the squeaking sounds and changing rhythms as sneakers stopped and started – and got louder (coming toward him) and softer (farther away) – and then the silence…….when the ball was in the air. That’s how Miles saw the world around him. He heard it everywhere.

Thinking creatively does not always sync with the grades your kids get in school. We all want our kids to do well and succeed. But according to whose standards? Nurturing the natural curiosity and imagination all kids are born with is one of the most important & challenging aspects of parenthood. And one of the enduring adventures you can share as a family.

My ten-year-old daughter is now in 5th grade and I’m hearing specific words and phrases from her with increasing regularity: “tests, grades, how many did I get wrong, what if I fail?” What is a parent to do?

The pre-occupation with “right v. wrong” is a huge philosophical shift from the Multi-Age Group (MAG) program that runs from 1st – 4th grade in her school. In MAG, imagination & curiosity set the tone as teachers guide students to create projects that incorporate (but are not ruled by!) the curriculum. The students in MAG learn the curriculum as well as students in the mainstream program – and maybe even better as a large proportion of them are subsequently invited into the Talented and Gifted Program.

By tapping into students’ specific passions and interests, the MAG teachers enable their students’ curiosity to take flight and then shape the creation of projects. They require students to demonstrate mastery of specific course material. But they do so much more. They instill in students a love of learning – and a foundation of utilizing their natural creativity to solve problems:

In a 4th grade MAG science unit– a student designed and built a kayak out of duct tape and pvc piping. Would the kayak float or sink? No one knew until the class carried the kayak down to the school pool and launched it. With the student on board and the class cheering – the kayak glided across the length of the pool!

With my daughter now in the mainstream school & in a more structured & grade conscious environment, what can be done at home to nurture and keep alive her curiosity, imagination and creativity?

–Be the best Safety Net you can: allow and encourage your kids to play and explore and walk the high wire with their ideas and experiences. They may see and hear and experience things you’ve never imagined – they are wired differently than we are – go beyond validating their explorations and expressions. Take part in them. Share in their adventure. Reverse roles. Let them be the guide – for a while. Some of their ideas may sound crazy & off the walls – but (as long as there is no danger involved) let them discover that – let them walk the high wire – and if they stumble and skin their knees – they have to know there’s a net to catch them – and that trial and error (and failing!) is not just okay – but necessary to all discovery and learning.

You may have all the answers but Let Your Kids Make Their Own Discoveries.

-Remember “Play is the highest form of research.” That’s Einstein’s idea and it sure rings true.

–I’ve told my daughter I don’t care what grades she gets. I mean it. There is another value system beside A-B-C-D. It’s okay to fail – and learn from that and move on. I do care that she learns. I do care that if she doesn’t do well that she tries to figure out why and what she can do next time. If that’s asking too much of a ten year-old – I’m here to help.

–Allow your kids time for their ideas to grow and develop – try and instill in your kids that ideas need time to percolate. Absolutely be cognizant of deadlines, but discuss this with them to avoid the craziness of getting it all done the night before something is due. Trying to solve it all the night before is usually not the best scenario.

-Talk to your kids about a timeline for their homework. In the film class I teach at the high school, we work in terms of pre-production (brainstorming and planning), production (doing the work), post-production (reflecting on the whole process – what worked? What didn’t? Why? What would you do differently next time?)

This summer my daughter and I walked together by the beach. She began to snap pictures on a camera. A lot of pictures. Seemed random to me as she snapped dozens and dozens of photos. The film teacher in me thought – she’s not planning her shots. And the “exercise” walk I was looking forward to never happened. But it was an amazing exercise for her. Later when we got home she uploaded the photos to the computer. She saw so many things on the walk that I didn’t notice. And in ways I couldn’t imagine. She took the photo above of the two of us. Can’t really tell it’s a father and his daughter. But it is her vision of us. And it has become one of my favorite photos of the two of us.

Curiosity: Keep is Alive, Keep it Active!

by Matthew Worwood
written by Matthew Worwood

We’re are all born with natural characteristics that allow us to think creatively, unfortunately many of these characteristics diminish as we grow older and interact with society. There’s a hot debate about education and how some of its methodology might be negatively impacting our creativity. We regularly talk about originality and how children have the ability to engage their imagination to produce and consider many alternative uses and activities with everyday objects. Play is another obvious activity that engages the imagination and allows creativity to flourish, but for me one of the most useful characteristics that we squander as we grow is our curiosity for the world around us. Sitting back and watching my six-month old boy look around a new room always gets me wondering… ‘What’s he looking at now’, ‘what does he make of the television screen, the moon, the stars, the new wall paper’. ‘What does he think they are?’ ‘Something to eat?’ Probably, he’s a baby who’s about to start teething, but we know that as soon as the terrible twos arrive, and even worse, the threes (which I’m living now with my eldest), this characteristic will surpass these basic survival instincts and begin to engage his imagination so that his curiosity can challenge him to explore his world. Unfortunately, he’s likely to get into trouble along the way and as parents we’ll be quick to deliver punishments when his or her curiosity takes them to the electrical plugs, the air vents, the fragile glass objects sitting on the coffee table, and every other thing that you’re quietly chuckling to yourself about right now.

But we have to remember that curiosity is one of the most important characteristics to keep alive in our children, to keep active, but it’s also one of the most challenging. You see curiosity leads to questions that we want to answer, because it makes our children ‘smarter’.  We can brag that our child knows where the sun goes at night, and why the leaves turn a different color in the Fall. Obviously Science has provided us with answers that we want to share and will learn about at school. But lets back up and ask how we came to these answers? It was the curiosity of past scientists or scholars who had a question and wanted to find out the answer. Scientists regularly utilize curiosity to generate new knowledge for our society, so lets be conscious of its value and do our best to cultivate it as parents and educators. I’ve shared a few ideas below that I practice at home.

  1. LUCAS: Daddy where does the sun go at nighttime? DADDY: Where do you think it goes at nighttime? He’s way to young to start talking about the gravity and the shape of our planet!
  2. Take Nature Walks in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Nothing is better at engaging my son’s curiosity for the world around him then finding insects. Challenge them to think where an ant leaves, spiders go, frogs swim, etc. When you find an instinct catch it, take it home, and examine it with your little one. Ask them to count the legs, guess what they eat, investigate the colors. Once they’ve compiled some information in their head I then reach for the iPad and get some ‘Wow’ facts to share. After this experience I always let them go.
  3. Allow them to examine their bodies. Within reason. My three year old does far too much examining of certain parts of his body, but he has begun to discover bones, and muscle which we’ve begun to talk about. He’s even developed curiosity about his size and which parts of his body will grow. These are great questions for a three year old to start asking.
  4. Providing that it’s not scary! Watch some nature and dinosaur documentaries on TV. Dinosaurs have a massive Wow factor for infants!
  5. Ok this is a tough one. Monitor how you respond to his curiosity when it gets him into trouble. We need to be careful that he doesn’t stop exploring objects because he’s scared he’ll get into trouble. If he reaches for something fragile, try and get it before he does, but then careful allow him to explore it and explain why you might not want him to hold it. This will likely lead into a variety of new questions that allow you to divert your attention away from the fragile object.
  6. Finally, children will be curious about the objects that dominate the life of their parents. It’s a big tease to not let them touch the remote controller, sit in the driving seat of a car, or event get to touch the keyboard of your computer. Supervise, supervise, supervise, but don’t shut them out of your world. They’re just too curious!

Curiosity and QuestionsMatthew WorwoodTraditional Play

A Magical Bike Ride in the Cape

by Matthew Worwood
written by Matthew Worwood

I’ve been blogging at DadsforCreativity.com for almost ten years. I’ve shared in previous articles that I’ve value how this work has captured various events between me and my children. The article below was my first blog article and I’m incredibly grateful to have captured this moment.

I was recently at Cape Cod on a family vacation. Apart from my three-year-old catching Pink Eye it was a delightful and relaxing experience. One of the best things about going on holiday is the opportunity to spend quality time with the family. My three-year-old terror can be a handful, but his imagination is something I cherish dearly. With his help we transformed a simple bike ride into a memorable adventure with a Gruffalo, fairies, a magical wood, dinosaur bones, and a scary forest.

My brother-in-law was kind enough to offer his bike that comes with a little seat for my first born to sit on. With it, the two of us, bursting with excitement, embarked on our first bike journey around a little beachside resort in Cape Cod. Below is a summary of that adventure. 

As we traveled down a path, we eventually came to some woodland. At first, my eldest was a little scared, calling it a scary forest that has scary skeletons hiding behind the bushes. Still, I decided to challenge his imagination to go beyond this current obsession and develop other things that might live in the treacherous forest that was emerging around us.

To my delight – as it’s my favorite picture book – he decided that we were in the deep dark wood where the Gruffalo lives, well, not just one, lots of them. They were popping up all over the place, and poor Daddy had to peddle quickly to escape them.

After my legs began to burn I needed a change in the story.  With a bit of encouragement, we eventually crossed into a magical forest with fairies and dinosaur bones in the form of broken branches on trees. I was relieved because it turned out that the fairies were casting dancing spells on the Gruffalos, which meant I didn’t have to peddle away every time we saw one.

Also, the fairies froze the scary skeletons, so my son didn’t have to fear them as much. I was finally able to slow down a little. Eventually, the sun began to set, and it was time to make our way home.

On the way back, our creative efforts turned away from the adventure and toward the arts. We sang a bunch of songs. First, we started with a song about Scary Skeletons, but soon we sang songs about bones and dancing princess skeletons (they got back in there at the end). It became a fantastic bike ride that would compete with any afternoon at Disney’s Magical Kingdom.

As a parent, this experience came about by asking questions to engage the imagination. It’s incredibly simple, but we need to be ready to go with the responses, even if its means a workout on the bike.

Jumpstart Creativity: Promote Reading

by Dads for Creativity
written by Dads for Creativity

Read. Read with your kids. Read to your kids. You can’t start kids early enough. And why stop one of the most creative family activities on the planet when your kids can read on their own? One more thing: it doesn’t matter what they read!

Too often in education reading seems punitive. I’m not enthusiastic about school mandated summer reading in its present form. What could be one of the greatest adventures for kids (or anyone!) becomes an onerous task for too many kids.  The summer before I entered 9th grade, I remember having to read an 800 page Dickens novel. Did you do your hour of reading my parents asked daily? Yes I did. Sort of. And I also learned about Cliff’s notes and Spark’s notes. I never finished the novel….

But something very special happened that summer.

A Hollywood screenwriter had rented the summer cottage next door to us. The lights were on in that house all night as music played and funny smelling smoke filled the air as visitors from LA stopped in – Felix from the Lovin’ Spoonful, Shelly Winters swimming nude in the moonlight. Much to my parents disapproval, I went over there. All the time. And I saw grown-ups reading books. Reading on their own and aloud to their kids. At all hours of the day and night. One night as I reluctantly headed home, the screenwriter handed me Jerzy Kosinski’s The Painted Bird and said, “Let me know what you think.”

I got home and read. All night. The book frightened me – the images were terrifying and beautiful and I couldn’t stop reading.  The next day he came over and wanted to know what I thought of the story. My parents listened to us. They had never heard me so passionate about anything I had read. Afterwards the screenwriter told my parents, “Just let him read. It doesn’t matter what he reads – as long as he reads.”

My wife and I read books at home at all hours. My daughter, like all children, watches and studies her parents.  One Friday night when she was six or seven years old, she climbed into bed between us with a book and asked, “Can I stay up and read with you?”

Natalie is ten years-old now and reading together has become a family activity that we all enjoy. We ask each other about what we’re reading and share passages and images and ideas that amaze us as well as things we don’t understand. The opinion of what we’re reading is as valued as what we’re reading. When she asked her brother for a subscription to the teen magazine Tiger Beat (People magazine for juniors)  (http://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Beat/dp/B00AZ9P6O6), we gave it our okay. We weren’t thrilled that she wanted to know the latest “news” about 1D, but we tried to discuss with her why so much attention is showered on celebrities.

On the other hand when she came home one day and asked me to buy her the wondrous book  Monsterology, I ordered it immediately. A friend of hers had told her about it. When it arrived we both went over it page by amazing page. With its pull-out passport to adventure and scientist-like tactile slides of: “hairs from the hide of a unicorn (12 years); skin from tail of a sea serpent (age unknown); and a sample of the yeti fur (white winter coat) presented by the monks of Dragon Mountain.”

If you don’t know this book – check it out:

Mbook1

One of the best ways to nurture creativity at home is through reading with and to you your kids. Reading will ignite your kid’s curiosity. Tell your kids what you like about what you’re reading.  One night as we were all reading in bed, Natalie asked me about a book I was reading. Saint-Exupery’s Wind Sand and Stars.  “It’s an adventure story,” I told her, “pilots flying in unchartered territory – almost 100 years ago – trying to discover safe routes to deliver the mail – through mountain passes – over deserts  – across oceans – in planes that sometimes fell apart in mid-air!” Natalie took the book from me and curiously stared at its cover with a photograph of an old single prop plane. She opened the book and started to read…

There are some rules we have about reading. During the school year, she has a set bedtime. But on Friday and Saturday nights she can read as late as she wants as long as she isn’t grumpy in the morning. I have my good friend Bill Gosselin to thank for that insight into teaching kids to take responsibility for their actions. Play by the rules and she can read into the night. Wake up grumpy and no more late nights. Natalie loves the independence of reading late.  And even better, she has begun to learn why we set those rules as well as her own limits.

We just came back from Martha’s Vineyard where my cousin has a small cottage in Oak Bluffs. After a full day of fishing, swimming and hiking (and eating plates of local oysters dockside at http://www.larsensfishmarket.com/index.shtml) we returned to the cottage. It was close to 11pm and bedtime.  I looked across the small room that we shared and saw this:

Nurturing Creativity at Home: What do you brag about as a parent?

by Matthew Worwood
written by Matthew Worwood

It’s the greatest thing to be a parent. The love that we have for our child is overwhelming and impossible to put into words. We are proud of ‘nearly’ everything they do, and watch in amazement as they grow and develop (excluding the terrible twos).

It’s natural for us to want to share our children’s accomplishments and brag how advanced they are in crawling, talking, walking, counting, that they know there letters, and might be able to memorize the spelling of a few words and names of objects. Around three your child might even demonstrate some giftedness in a particular area, but ultimately most children progress at the same time and in the same way give or take a couple of months. It’s their personalities that evolve differently!

As a new parent in the new mommy and daddy pack, I’m just as guilty of bragging, but I’ve begun to be more conscious on what I brag about.  I think promoting creativity begins at home, and we must do more to nurture and encourage creative thinking. As parents we must think beyond the ‘academics’ and focus more on bragging about the creativity characteristics that are much more likely to lead to success in life then getting an A on the test.

Think about what you focus on with you spend that precious time with your child? What do you get most excited about? Is it balanced between ‘school stuff’ and creativity? It’s great to take the time to teach your child to learn the fifty states at three, it’s a proud moment when your little one looks at a Stop sign and says S.T.O.P, we want our children to go into pre-school counting to 10 or 20, but we must not neglect the imagination, curiosity, originality, and the ability to produce and consider many alternatives. What we know is that the education system will teach children the fifty states, and by adults we’ll probably remember about 45 of them. We can expect that most children at age 6 or 7 will be able to spell S.T.O.P and a variety of other words, plus they’ll not only be able to count to 100 but will likely be moving into multiplication as well, and by 15 they’ll be teaching us the Math. We know schools will focus on the academics, so lets spend sometime focusing on creativity as well. I recently produced a Documentary about Creativity in Education, and the imbalance that exists between teaching content verses nurturing creativity. Lets avoid adding more fuel to the fire.

Below is a list of things that I think help make for a good balance in nurturing creativity, while trying to raise the whizz kid in the class.

  • Reading. There’s lots of evidence that suggests reading is one of the most important things to do with your child prior to starting school. Children that grasp reading early are much more likely to succeed in the core subjects in school and more easily identify letters. It doesn’t have to be heavy on the academics, so I suggest finding stories that are fun and likely to engage the imagination.
  • Apps. At the time of writing this, there’s not a lot of research out there about apps in early years development and I certainly to do not agree with children turning into tablet zombies, but some of the interactive storytelling apps are really fun, engaging the imagination, while interacting with technology at the same time.
  • Just go with it. When your bundle of joy engages with his imagination while referring to a leaf as an ice-lolly, resist the temptation to immediately correct him to inform him exactly what kind of leaf it is. Instead ask him questions. What flavor is the ice-lolly? What does it smell like? This gives them permission to be creative and allow their magical world to last a little longer.
  • Curiosity/Problem-Solving. Kids love to ask the ‘Why’ question. Before responding to ‘what happens to the sun at nighttime’ ask them to guess first. You might get some really imaginative responses. Also, if they say ‘What are you doing Daddy’, ask them to tell you what they think you’re doing. Get them to develop comfort in problem-solving independently from the adult. This includes letting a child occasionally get frustrated as they figure out that new toy.
  • Play. Make sure the iPad, reading, counting, and that 50 state jigsaw are not all that you do with your child. Build castles with cushions, create a fancy dress box, change the design of the train track, and makes Legos without using the instructions.

Ultimately, its important to know that evidence does not indicate that students who succeed on the test are more likely to succeed in life. There’s a variety of literature that supports the idea that success is a combination of multiple factors that include opportunity, talent, and creativity. So let’s brag as much about our child’s imagination, ideas, and curiosity, as we do about their ability to memorize facts, figures, and letters. I know I’m doing something right when my boy places his finger high up in the air, lights up with a cheeky smile and says ‘Hey Daddy, I got an idea.’

Nurturing Problem-Solving in Kids

DADS_FOR_CREATIVITY: Sunglasses case

The sunglasses case my daughter designed so that I never lose my glasses again.

Nurturing creativity in our kids can take place at every turn in the road as they grow older. Big projects can be fun – but it’s in the everyday solution to simple things that also allows a kid’s imagination to soar. By involving our kids in problem solving – we can equip them with unique
and creative thinking skills that may allow them to discover unique solutions to the most mundane or complex problems. And with these creative skills as a foundation – who knows what they will think up next?

I’m always losing my sunglasses case. Dark black case. Blends in everywhere. Our three rescue dogs waited impatiently in the Landcrusier for the trip to the dog park to begin as my wife, my nine-year old daughter Natalie and I all searched for my sunglasses case.

I complained non-stop until I finally found the dark case camouflaged on top of a dark leather book. Little did I know that this would be the last time I’d ever have to hunt for them. As I took my sunglasses out of their dark case, I caught a glimpse of my daughter watching me. “What would you do so I wouldn’t lose them? I asked her. Natalie took the case and went into her room. A few minutes later she emerged and handed me a customized glass case that would stand out almost anywhere. There are many daily problems we encounter, and we should all pursue opportunities to engage our children in this type of everyday problem-solving at home.
