Filipinos have been lauded the world over for their creativity, innovativeness, artistry and craftsmanship. These are the things that differentiate us from other nations.
The Creative Industry in the Philippines is an emerging and dynamic sector of the country’s economy. It includes publishing, printing, literature; music and the performing arts; visual arts; crafts, design and architecture; audiovisual and new media; cultural heritage and cultural activities[1]. What better way to start with our country’s children. Children are the hope of the nation. The youth are the next people and future career developers of our country. Children’s business is playing. Play is to a kid as work is to a man. It is their most favorite thing to do. Toys are their machines and equipments. It is their most prized possession. Some have collected and value their toys since childhood and kept them as souvenirs and memorabilia.
Who wouldn’t know what Play-Doh is?
Play-Doh is very popular and is already recognized as one of Toys Hall of Famer[2]. It is the three-dimensional doorways to artistic expression of kids. Kids especially love to flatten, cut and mold modeling dough with plastic tools. In addition to entertaining kids, Play-Doh can help children develop a lifelong skill. Clay modeling is an excellent way to develop fine motor skills in young children. The stimulating creative thought process will improve the children's visual observation skills. Learn how to mix colors and to create textures with the colorful polymer clays. Develop the child's interest and enhance their talent in the art of clay creations.
"Young children learn best through direct sensory encounters and not through a formal academic process. Learning should be the outcome of hands-on experience, especially play." - National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)
A kid event that would mentally physically and socially develop children would be an appropriate way to increase or enhance the Philippine’s creative industry.
Intelligence, imagination and creativity are engaged and fostered in the activities throughout the event. It will also give opportunity for the target market to experience the products in hands on basis. The event will also be an opportunity for parents to experience fun and quality time with their kids. The event will not only be for fun and enjoyment but also good teaching grounds as well for both the parents and their kids. The event teaches kids values, good manner, the importance of teamwork, how to socialize and mingle with others kids as well.
Each one of us has their own childlike behavior.
I have posted a picture of a vintage Play-Doh tub ever.
