The activities within this series of three books provide children with the opportunity to learn and practise creative thinking skills in interesting and stimulating situations. Through the activities, children develop the skills of fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration, curiosity, complexity, risk taking and imagination. Book 1 for ages 10 - 12 years: Challenges range from building a bomb shelter from a school chair, to describing a world where ants are the size of cats.
