Creativity in Every Day Life

The other day I was waiting for a bus and was hungry, so I bought myself a big tub of Chocolate Yogo. I got to the bus stop and THEN realised I hadn’t grabbed a spoon. Not feeling like dipping my finger in and looking weird, I set about being creative.

I started with the aluminium flimsy lid thing on the yogo, folding it to form a spoon.

But when I’d eaten half the chocolate, the spoon became too short. It was a struggle, so I had to get more creative. Luckily I had a pencil on me.

And then I’d created myself a spoon from something that came with the container, and a pencil.

Creativity is everywhere, and anyone is capable of it. We just need an excuse to use it, and see what we can do. I could have just walked back to the shop and bought a packet of plastic spoons, but then I’d be carrying extra spoons, wasting time walking and in line getting the spoons, and wouldn’t have had a chance to use my mind to solve the problem. Creativity is fun, it’s meant to be enjoyable. So enjoy it!
