Being creative with a toddler can have a positive effect on the fine motor skills, it can enlarge the ability to concentrate, it can create self confidence and it can create a connection between the parents and the toddler because they need to fulfill something together. When parents and their toddler learns to be creative, they are also learning how they can solve problems on a creative way in real life. The parents need to get to know their toddler on a creative way and they have to let the toddler explore. During this activity, it is important that the parents are enthusiastic as well and they have to give their toddler the space to do what he wants. Beside that it is also important that the parents have an eye for showing their appreciation and recognition. 

When the parents and the toddler are singing, dancing, moving, reading... together, the toddler can experience a great development. It's important that the parents give compliments to their toddler on the way that they are dancing or expressing theirselves.
