It covers: discovering your own creativity; developing creativity in children; the inclusion of children with special educational needs or disabilities; diversity and cross-cultural approaches; useful websites; and, resources, including videos, books and reader friendly journals. Cultivating Creativity in Babies, Toddlers and Young Children is written in the clear and accessible style associated with Tina Bruce's bestselling books, and is generously illustrated in full colour.
