ABSTRACT: An exploration of existing exercises, activities, environmental structures which allow for and encourage creative thought and expression. These are then followed by a lesson plan which includes ideas and concepts on how to foster both creativity and the thought processes which it affects including problem solving, critical thinking, empathy and bettered personal ethics. The results seek to not only highlight the importance of creativity both in the classroom and within the home but also how it can affect positively, at large, both the individual and society.
