ABSTRACT
It is important to realise from the start that creativity is not the gift of the few and it is not the province of the Arts rather than the Sciences. Nor do children need to be academically very able to think creatively in many effective ways. All children are potentially creative: creativity arises from the natural human curiosity that we all possess. It develops from the way that the brain makes basic sense of the world, namely by linking ideas together and by looking at things in many ways. These are the cornerstones of creative thinking.
