With STEM education being the focus, we forget to nurture creativity.But did you know exploring nature and nurturing creativity is one way of helping your child to learn better?
Engineers can draw.A banker can be a graphic designer too.A scientist may be a doodle artist.
It’s important you nurture a child’s creativity.That’s why the idea ofย customisable notebooks by classmate is a beautiful way to do just that.Science and arts are not opposite ends of the brain.In fact, research has proved, exploring the artistic side of personality helps in critical thinking skills, improves mathematical prowess and helps children become more well rounded.
In this age of learning skills, we should remember to help our child grow all the skills he shows interest in.Thinking out of the box and entrepreneurship, scientific innovations are all examples of creative thinking.
Can you teach a two year Iย to make anย airplane model?Not really.But you can help them scribble, doodle and finger paint.The right environment goes a long way in exploring creativity and growing a creative brain.
I am an ENT surgeon and a teacher in a Medical College.I also write, blog, do tech stuff, freelance as a creative content strategist and graphic designer.Not possible if my mom didn’t encourage me when I was a tiny tot.With encouragement from my mother and my art teacher, I kept in touch with my creative side.Doing artwork and crafting is also an effective way to beat stress.
Creativity & Intelligence
Formal education has a big role in making a child confident.But Iย believe exploring creativity, thinking out of the box is a great way to support the development of intelligence.
Creativity is Intelligence having fun.Einstein
It’s important you admire a child’s scribbles, those wall arts, and random drawings.That’s her expression of life around her and gives clues to her skills.
It’s important we nurture a child’s creativity.That’s why the personalized notebooks by classmate is a beautiful way to do just that.When I was a little girl my mom was forever trying to store my artwork.Now itโs my turn.Luckily for me, I have ways of doing this quickly online with the click of a mouse.
How can you make your own customized notebook?
- Login to the ITC classmate dashboard
- Select,size,binding,number of pages,ruled or blank.
- Upload your child’s artwork with the specified dimensions, customize colors, message and voila!You have a selection of gorgeous notebooks your child will treasure.
Nurturing Creativityย & Self-trust
If you want to go a step forward andย help build confidence, the best way to do that is to believe in them.
Imagine notebooks with your child’s paintings, sketches, doodles! Thatโs what makes memories.
Creativity is a form of self-expression. Research has proved that creativity, creative thinking, finding new solutions to old problems is what happens when children are encouraged to explore their creatives ide.
When you encourage creative play you improve self-trust and self-confidence. This has the ability to have a far-reaching effect. Growing up the child learns to value this side of theirs. Their self-confidence in their creative thinking and creative skills gives them extra resources for problem-solving.
Motivation, human achievement and your role as a parent are interlinked.But how?That still is a mystery.
My job as a mommy is to give love, protection, guidance, and support so that she grows up self-reliant and independent.By showing confidence and happiness in her achievements I give her critical life skills.
These artworks were some of the few I used.
I just completed ordering my set of customized classmate notebooks for my daughter with her artwork. Education stationary products always make us happy. But these are even more special.I am excited to see the look on her face when they come. Have you ever made personalized notebooks for your children?

This is the best gift we can gift to the child. Indeed best way to promote child creativity
Shipra Trivedi (@trivediship) says
This is really a great way to promote the creativity of a child. I would get a few customized notebooks for my son so that he can feel confident and more encouraged to see his own creations over the notebook. Thank you for sharing this Amrita.
Sharvari Paivaidya Mehan says
Customised notebook by Classmate is perfect to hone skills and increase creativity. Completely agree with a Einstein when he said intelligence is Creativity havinh fun

Customised notebook is something really creative and I would also like to design one for myself.
Dr.Amrita says
Thanks Geethica
pythoroshan says
I thought this was an excellent creative idea. Wish they had this in our times.
Lakshmi Kannan says
Such an innovative idea. In these times when kids are glued to videos and games on mobile and iPad, creativity is lost. This will be a fun way to get them interested back again in arts and crafts.
Dr.Amrita says
Thanks Lakshmi
ghazala786 says
A good initiative to encourage kids show their talent & creativity , I always encourage my kids to do all creative things they want to like painting , stitching etc ๐
#Superbloggerchallenge2018
vartikasdiary says
Truly an amazing initiative. Could not agree more that kids can do wonders if guided well since beginning. I am a painter and can see the love of art in my toddlers too, it feels great to see them scribble their imagination.
msarora says
A whole new concept .
Kids always look for something new and creative. This seems a good option for them.
Abhisek Nayak says
Creativity does play an important role in the development of kids. Through creativity, one can express his/her heart out and can find what he/she loves. I am sure Kids are going to enjoy their creativity through ITC Classmate.

it’s good way to encourage kids to be more than studious and hone their tallent. it’ll even act as stress buster. (i’ll borrow someone’s kid to participate in the challenge lol) #superbloggerchallenge2018
Aritra Chakrabarty says
Such a well thought post. True, science and arts are not completely separate. In fact they are entwined and can fetch wonderful results wen together.
I do not have a child, but if I have one, I will ensure travelling is a part of our lives, I believe exposure to the world accelerates outlook n imagination.
Pls read my week8 post for #superbloggerchallenge2018 #instacuppa
Ramya says
That’s an interesting idea by ITC. We usually do photo books to treasure memories. If notebooks are customizable , we can even make doodle books and even travel journals made by children.

Sheri - A Busy Bee's Life says
I love this idea and the initiative. We should always encourage our kids to do their best and help bring out their true potential in everything they do. My 2 year old loves classical music and the violin so I am encouraging him in the area of music.
vijayakumar s says

Jhilmil says
That’s really something creative now, indeed I would love to have ITC CLASSMATE notebooks with my kids art on it!
Neha says
Being creative is the basis of doing anything new! Encouraging it in children not only acts as a stress buster, but also helps collate thoughts.
Minakshi Bajpai says
Indeed a great initiative. We must encourage our kids for creative stuff and you never know when they start taking things seriously.

I agree! Creativity is very essential to get out of a monotonous life! This is really amazing ????
Miss. Sunshine says
This is such a fun idea and I’m sure the kids would love it too!
Alice Gerard says
This is a great idea. Many kids give up creativity and art because they are actively discouraged. All kids can be creative but teachers have to be open to different types of creativity.
Dr.Amrita says
Exactly Alice .thank you for reading.
Tina Basu says
I have fond memories of writing in ITC classmate notebooks in high school

You are absolutely right! There needs to be a place for creativity as well. I think it can seem like things like the arts aren’t’ as important as STEM, but a creative mind is just as powerful. In my opinion anyways!

Jayshree Bhagat says
I loved the concept of this post.. Will surely participate
Roshan Radhakrishnan says
This is such a cool idea from them. Kids today really are blessed if you ask me. Remember the limited options we had.
Niekartistiek says
What a creative way of stimulating a child’s intelligence – thinking outside the box is not only important, but also a lot of fun to do so! It’s very good that kids these days get encouraged to use their imagination, instead of just reproducing or coping the given tasks. Thanks for sharing!
