STE Publishers, in conjuction with the Curriculum Development Project, has published Creative Beginnings. While primarily aimed at those working with children under eight years old, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to explore their creativity.

The central theme of this book is that young children are spontaneous and free in their creative expression and that adults working with them need to rediscover and explore their own creativity to be able to share the magic of artmaking and see the world through new eyes.

While primarily aimed at educators, caregivers and parents working with children under eight years old, this book is also an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to explore their creativity.In Creative Beginnings, you will be taken on a creative journey to discover how to:

• Explore and express your own creativity in a meaningful way
• Use a wide range of materials and techniques
• Inspire children to create
• Use art processes to assist healing
• Use a child-centred art teaching methodology
• Set up a well-organised, free choice Open Art Area for young children
• Understand and appreciate young children’s artmaking

Creative Beginnings is richly illustrated with children’s artworks as well as art made by adults attending ‘Creative Beginnings’ courses.

This is the first in a series of 12 books on teaching art to children that STE and the Curriculum Development Project will roll out over the next two years.
