I Am a Creator! – Creative Thinking Worksheet

Think outside the box, use your imagination and become a creator!
This fun and open-ended worksheet encourages children to look at a simple circle and imagine what it could become. Rather than giving children a picture to copy, each circle becomes the starting point for their own unique idea.
A circle could become the sun, a balloon, a face, a clock, an animal, a planet, a flower — or something completely unexpected! Children are encouraged to extend their drawings beyond the circle, adding lines, shapes and details to transform it into something of their own.
There are no wrong answers. The aim is to encourage children to think creatively, take an ordinary shape and see it in a new way, and develop the confidence to create without worrying about making their picture “right.”
Children will:
• Use their imagination
• Turn simple shapes into original creations
• Develop drawing and creative-thinking skills
• Explore different possibilities
• Practice thinking outside the box
• Build confidence in their own ideas
• Discover that one simple shape can become many different things
Perfect for early years and primary classrooms, this is a simple activity with endless possibilities — because creativity begins when children realize there isn’t always just one answer!
