Magic Places is a guide book for parents and teachers of children up to 10 years of age. It outlines the nature of creativity and offers easy-to-follow suggestions for fostering the natural unfolding of each child’s creativity. Covering children’s genetically encoded developmental stages of creativity with pointers for appropriate support at each stage. It clarifies the difference between so-called ‘creative activities’ and genuine creative play. Magic Places contains helpful suggestions on media and materials for creative play in the home, in early childhood centres and school classrooms. Follow the easy steps to set up a vibrant creative environment for the pleasure and development of imaginative and creative children. This is what Pennie had to say about the new version… “The new "Magic Places" Creativity is the most sought after quality in this fast changing world. Guardians of children’s creativity pave the way for children to become initiators, artists, innovators and inventors in their chosen fields - be that the sciences, education, engineering, the arts, technology... or parenting. This book helps us to understand creativity, and gives very clear guidelines on ways to encourage and grow it in our children. What has changed in this edition? Well, the developmental stages of children's art expression, and the stages of the creative process are still there along with the favourite examples of the 'ridiculous cat' and the family with the new baby. What is new is a much deeper understanding of what actually happens for the child during the stages of the creative process; the processes inside the child that lead to innovation, invention, originality, initiating and artistry. When we know what happens, we know how to support it. This edition is designed for teachers of children from 'new' up to ten years old” – Pennie Brownlee
