Creativity is taking something that’s already there, and creating something completely different and new from it. Creativity is ingrained in people, (some more than others, but I believe we all have it). There are so many fab creative play ideas out there. It’s simply wonderful!

Take the humble playdough. We all know the stuff. We grew up with it, and now our kids play with it. Just look at these 10 extraordinary playdoughs! How creative right?

Happy playing, because #playmatters.
