Why Creativity Can
Creativity for Kids, the brand that introduced America to a new toy category to promote childhood creativity nearly 40 years ago, is rallying for a Creativity Comeback. Recent studies indicate children's test scores have been declining since 1990 but yet "creativity" is essential for the future success of the human race.
Starting with the premise that "creativity can make anything possible," we developed the "Creativity Can." The Creativity Can, a small container of simple, colorful materials like pipe cleaners, googly eyes and yarn, encourages people of all ages to imagine and invent while while engaging in a brain-activating, hands-on activity and illustrate the power of creativity. The only instructions are to have fun and to be as creative as you can be. There is no right or wrong way to use the material. Creativity Cans develop imagination, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills needed for future success.

Who is creativity for Kids
Creativity Counts®: We believe creativity develops children’s problem solving and critical thinking skills needed to achieve lifelong success.
We are Faber-Castell®, a 255+ year old global company designing and producing products for Enriching Lives Through Creativity and Self-Expression.
Our Creativity for Kids® division has been developing craft and activity products since 1976. Several years ago, we learned about the “Creativity Crisis” and that children’s creativity scores have been declining at the same time as educators, scientists and corporations have declared that creativity is the number ONE skill needed for the future. We felt it was our mission to act and spark a nationwide discussion. We produced the Creativity Can, distributing over 95,000 of them across the USA and Canada, with awesome results.
