Abstract
The development of creative thinking in primary school students is essential for fostering problem-solving skills, adaptability, and a lifelong love for learning. This study explores effective strategies for nurturing creativity, including encouraging curiosity, integrating play-based learning, incorporating arts, promoting collaborative activities, and providing opportunities for experimentation. By creating a supportive and stimulating environment, educators can help young learners express ideas innovatively, think critically, and build confidence.
