I think one of the most important things to foster in children is imagination. Give them a chance to dress up by providing clothes they can play dress up with. Provide opportunities for them to play with toys that foster imagination. Children should be given a chance to be creative and explore in the environment. Provide them with opportunities to go outside and use everyday objects such as sticks and stones to use creativity. Let them play with everyday items from your kitchen that they cannot get hurt on such as pans and wooden spoons to make drums.

Give them an opportunity to use artist utensils to create things such as paintings, drawings, and clay to express themselves. Let them use pieces of yarn to create a picture. The items do not have to be expensive or fancy for them to learn to create. Give them a chance to use paints, crayons and glue without your advice or direction. See what they can come up with on with imagination when given several tools in front of them with no direction.
