SubscribeImagination and creativity come part and parcel with childhood. Unfortunately, most of us tend to lose those wonderful skills (at least to some degree) as we get older. Then we find ourselves sitting in a meeting or facing a problem that we are sure we could solve if only we could “think outside the box” or be more” innovative”. Well, those are just grown up words for being creative and trying new stuff.
So. Encourage your kids to exercise their imagination and hold on to it as long as they can. In out great city, there are a ton of opportunities to help make that happen.

Noble Street) they are sponsoring mask making workshops for kids 8 and older. $20 a day and it will end with a performance on stage.
