Program Description
Overview
The program comes with various fun-filled, art-based tactile and digital activities that ensure freedom for expression, space for imaginative thinking and unlimited opportunity to explore inquisitive skills. It is designed to encourage the unique perception of every child by connecting the admiration the children show towards their surroundings with art and in turn the academic curriculum. This ensures a subconscious learning process that improves the children’s cognitive strength without realizing that they are undergoing a learning session.

Q: What is Imageminds Creative Learning Kit?At Imageminds, we believe that “play" is the most effective and productive way to learn. Unstructured play and hands-on learning in early childhood are essential for a child's development. Play allows them to explore different approaches and scenarios for resolving a problem. Instead of following a formula to reach conclusions, experiential learning lets children come up with their own solutions (with some help).
Through play, we want to help kids learn without fear and build a strong foundation. So, we designed Imageminds Creative Learning Kits for different ages to enrich and challenge young minds while also helping them grow as people through exploration and play. The theme-based kits include innovative art and craft activities, science projects, learning books, math concepts, environmental projects, puzzles, physical manipulatives, and board games.
Q: For what ages are Imageminds Kits appropriate?Imageminds Kits are intended for children aged 3 to 14. The kits are curated for three age groups and are tailored according to the age-specific learning needs of children

Q: Is there a minimum age group that your product is designed for?Yes! Please do note that some or all crafts may have small parts that are not intended for children under three (3) years of age.

Aside from that, you can rest easy and watch your kids make things, use them, and show how imaginative and creative they are. You can also pick out pictures of your kids working and send them to us. If we like them, we might put them on our website. Some of your kids' creations may also deserve some role-play time, just to enhance the experience. We will leave that up to you!

Q: Why are creative activities important for my child?Children have unlimited creative potential. They are curious, playful, imaginative, and open to new experiences. Creativity is not a fixed quantity but a renewable skill and a way of thinking that can be improved and nurtured by allowing a child’s potential to develop.
Research has shown that children’s engagement with creative activities has positive effects on their interpersonal, intellectual, social, and emotional development.
They engage with their imagination and originality as they imagine and explore original ideas. Children who use fantasy and imagination are better able to engage in divergent thinking and generate ideas. They stretch their flexibility, maintaining openness to unique and novel experiences.
They practice decision-making and have the ability to make thoughtful choices that support creative efforts. They work on their communication and self-expression skills and learn to confidently share their ideas and true selves.
They find internal motivation in striving to achieve a meaningful goal. As they learn social skills that encourage creative teamwork, they see the benefits of working together.
