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 of 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 I to make an 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 I 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 it’s 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 Creativity & Self-trust
If you want to go a step forward and help build confidence, the best way to do that is to believe in them.
Imagine notebooks with your child’s paintings, sketches, doodles! That’s 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?

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.
Thanks Geethica
I thought this was an excellent creative idea. Wish they had this in our times.
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.
Thanks Lakshmi
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 🙂
#Superbloggerchallenge2018
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.
A whole new concept .
Kids always look for something new and creative. This seems a good option for them.
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.
That’s innovative . My daughter is going to love it . Let me move on and order some customised notebooks for her . Thanks for the post
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
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
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.
Oh forget the kiddos. I’m so much in love with these products :))
it is really great, and I had an awesome time with my girls while participating in the contest. indeed, it is really helpful to explore creativity and imagination power in kids. thanks for sharing!
This is an awesome initiative. My son is drawing all sorts of shapes these days!
I love the whole concept and I think kids really appreciate these presents! I would recommend this artsy notebook to anyone, it really boosts creativity and confidence!
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.
nice interesting post
This is a great initiative by classmate. Nurturing creativity from a very early age will help child for future which is all about innovation.
Exactly my thought
This is definitely a great move to bring out the hidden talent in kids. I am glad you have done that and so wonderfully have you done this. Respect!!
Thank you
Creativity Stems from encouragement and you are doing that, i want to raise a creative kid not a nerd thanks for this lovely post!!!
Thanks Aditi
Such a briliant idea to give the kids a creative outlet.
Yes true
I dint know abt customising notebooks with kids Doodles and art work. This is such a cool concept by Itc Classmate. Definitely checking this one out for my sons Doodles.
Do check it out.Its a cool way to customize chidlrens notebooks.
This is definitely so useful and exciting… I am surely trying these notebooks
Wow participating right away after this moment, I don’t know how I missed this
Great do it quickly!
Simply loved this idea, I so wish at our time we had this fun thing of having a customized notebooks.
Thank you .Glad you liked it.
My oldest loves to draw, and I would love to customise a notebook for her! so that I can keep all of her pretty drawings in one place!
Yes do that .She will love it.
Wow.. you brought to life so many childhood memories. I will explore this as well.
Thank you .Glad you enjoyed.
Classmates notebooks have really premium quality, i have it for my daughter and yes will love to participate in this ongoing activity.
Please do.I am sure your children will love it!
This is such a brilliant idea actually. What creative concepts are available for this generation!
This is a great way to let kids learn in a creative way. I will ecplore more
I love the fact that this article is encouraging all to let their creative juices flowing
I so agree with you that it’s important that we open a Pandora’s box for our child so that he becomes more open in thoughts and be creative too.
That’s really something creative now, indeed I would love to have ITC CLASSMATE notebooks with my kids art on it!
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.
Indeed a great initiative. We must encourage our kids for creative stuff and you never know when they start taking things seriously.
I wish things were as interesting when we were growing up. This looks so much fun!
How true, it is important to keep the creativity of kids alive… To make them explore different fields and let them make a choice too.
Wow you are a graphic designer too… Wow I don’t know how you find time in your busy schedule 🙂
I agree! Creativity is very essential to get out of a monotonous life! This is really amazing ????
This is such a fun idea and I’m sure the kids would love it too!
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.
Exactly Alice .thank you for reading.
I have fond memories of writing in ITC classmate notebooks in high school
Very very important to encourage the creative talents of our little ones. Thanks for this ITC classmate resource.. Me and the kids are in a complete creative zone.. This should help.
Thanks Aritra.Do try.
Awesome. I am amazed to know what all you do. Thanks for introducing this great product. Just bookmarked ITC Classmate.
Thank you.
Awesome stuff, hats off to you – multitasking at all sides. Creativity bring imagination to kids, which will make them independent and bold enough to gain confidence. Lovely feature.
Enjoyed this post. With a daughter-in-law who is home-schooling two of my grandchildren, I’d love her to look into this. Putting the link onto Facebook.
Thanks Shirley
This is a commendable and inspired initiative in the mundane world of boring notebooks. Very encouraging to the child to see his artworks on the cover of his books. I am definitely trying this out.
Thank you Kala.
That was a very informative article and I am def participating in the contest
So many amazing products that did not exist when I was a young mother. Whatever fosters creativity and out of the box thinking is something to be encouraged.
Wow what creative tech stuff is available these days; wish this was there when I was growing up. I would have freaked out making my scrap books on this. Thanks for sharing Amrita
Loved this concept of customising the notebooks with kids artwork. My baby is too young to be using them but thanks to you – I know what I am going to gift my nieces on the upcoming birthdays 🙂

Very true.
That is just the right kind of encouragement nowadays kids need. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I remember using ITC Classmate notebooks even when I was in School & College. The cover designs were so fascinating! I am glad they still are coming up with such creative stuff to make sure kids are engaged in all possible ways.
WOW! Customized notebook designed by kids sounds like an amazing idea. Great idea to boost imagination, creativity and self-esteem in kids.
Wonderful post. Each child has an inner talent and creativity that must be honed in the best possible manner.
This looks like a really great way to encourage creativity. I love things that give kids a chance to think outside the norm . . .
This is such an awesome initiative. Love the stuff form ITC Classmate
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!
Love the idea! It will definitely nurture the child’s creativity and self confidence
Wow! this is a cool idea. Personalised stuff for kids is just what I would love for my kids. Thanks for bringing this to the fore.
Thanks Anupriya .Do share your child’s creative works.

Very inspiring! I couldnt agree more,the right environment along with a gentle boost and guidance can go a long way!
I don’t have children but I think this is a great idea. I do think it is very important to encourage children to learn as early as possible when they taken in more than us adults. Very imfortative
Thanks, Mel.Gald you like it.
I love anything related to encouraging creativity 🙂
“Stationery – notebooks, pens, art material – is the child’s first ally in self expression. It is the first instrument or set of instruments that both attracts and fuels his or her imagination, the essential person inside.Thanks for the read.
I loved the concept of this post.. Will surely participate
This is such a cool idea from them. Kids today really are blessed if you ask me. Remember the limited options we had.
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!
Creativity is something which needs proper guidance and encouragement. Good to see Classmate encouraging kids to be creative as it increases kids confidence.
This is indeed a great concept. I can’t wait to get my girls notebook customised now. Thanks for sharing.
