The 3rd workshop in our 5-part TCP Approach Series is an invitation to see everyday materials with fresh eyes. In this session, we explore how creativity doesn’t require specialty supplies or big budgets, but starts with a mindset shift, an environment designed for discovery, and the basics you already have. Crayons, copy paper, white glue, cardboard, recyclables, and loose parts become rich tools for play, problem-solving, and expression when we shift our focus from what children should make to how materials can be explored. We introduce the idea of “HOW not WHAT” and share powerful material pairings and playful sourcing strategies that keep experiences feeling fresh and engaging. You’ll leave with ideas, inspiration, and new ways to facilitate creative experiences that invite inventing, discovering, collaborating, iterating, and dreaming. This workshop supports educators in offering joyful, open-ended play that builds creative confidence, social-emotional growth, and a deep sense of possibility… using what’s already on hand.
Running time: 84 minutes
Included: PD certificate, 4 printables, and links to our favorite materials
Pricing is for individual use only. If you are interested in purchasing this 5-part series for your school or team, click here to learn more.
