The adults' guide to young children's creative art work
The adults' guide to young children's creative art work
All children are born creative. Our task is to ensure they stay that way.
Magic Places has all the information and inspiration adults need to make sure that every child in their care retains their creativity. It addresses the question people have about what art activities are suitable for the child under three when children's consciousness is a world away from our own creative consciousness.
Guardians of children's creativity pave the way for children to become initiators. artists, innovators and inventors in the chosen fields - be that the science, education, engineering, the arts, technology... or parenting
Written for parents and teachers of children up to 11 years, in three parts. The first part covers the four stages of creativity with guidelines for adults to support each stage. Part two details the stages of creative development of children under seven. Part three gives practical tips on setting up an environment which is 'creativity heaven' for young children.
Essential reading for all adults who believe that children's creativity is too precious to squander unwittingly.

What people say about Magic Places:
“I would highly recommend this book as it is full of useful and insightful information to help teachers and parents nurture creativity in our children.”
- Carla Tunnicliffe, ‘Early Education’
“Back in the early 1990s when I was an early childhood student teacher, Pennie Brownlee’s Magic Places was required reading. …A careful reading of Magic Places reveals the importance of thinking reflectively and critically, about childhood, adulthood, society, the world, learning, and play.
…The provocations in Magic Places have stayed with me throughout 27 odd years of studying and teaching and continue to help with the complex challenge of working with the early childhood curriculum in early childhood centre communities and in early childhood teacher education.”
- Andrew Gibbons
“This little book is a must have in any centre’s library and all teacher’s back pockets. It is jammed packed with photos, drawings, practical suggestions and theoretical points around creativity, stages of children’s art work, and setting up a successful creative programme.”
