Tips to Inspire Your Child’s Creativity Through Travel

Look around and realize that the world is a better teacher than a book for your kids. A happy child is the one who gets to express his creative self the best. The benefits of creativity for kids seem endless. Creativity improves your ability to deal with difficult feelings, their self-esteem, problem-solving skills, and chances of future success, and more. Fortunately, children have strong imaginations and a natural creative instinct. And what better way of inspiring you child’s creativity than through travel. We compiled a list of tips to help inspire your child’s creativity through travel.

Head out for a Jungle Safari

Add a pinch of adventure by making kids hit the natural trails of some of the best national parks in India like Corbett, Ranthambhore or Periyar. Take them for a bracing jungle safari across the thick deciduous forest best known for spotting out striped cats, elephants, and leopards. These expeditions of the forests can turn your kids into great storytellers or story writers. These experiences will also allow them to explore their interest in wildlife photography, birdwatching or photography in general.

Camp in the Mountains

Throw open the trekking trails in India for your kids to experience the wonderment of hiking and camping amidst the mountains. Trekking will teach them how to take up challenges, push their limits and imbibe perseverance. Bring them close quarters with ecstatic alpine meadows, grazing sheep, and bewitching lofty peaks. Rambling past the unending lush greenery will inspire them to draw, paint or take up nature photography as a hobby. 

Go for a Toy Train Ride 

Quite similar to an excerpt from a fairytale, a dreamlike toy train ride in Darjeeling or Shimla or  Ooty will be one of the most enjoyable outdoor activities for kids. Building connections with the natural world, a toy train ride will make children discover the joy of traveling. This journey taking them past captivating tea estates, fascinating Himalayan ranges, and scenic spots will land them in the lap of nature. Huffing and puffing through the plush environs and fresh air will offer kids not only a time away from screens but also in a way encourage them to be more aware of their surroundings; become curious about nature; as well find answers to some important questions about nature and environment.

Journey on a Houseboat

Plan with your kids a holiday a mesmeric houseboat ride across the backwaters in Alleppey, Kerala. One of the most sought-after family-friendly experiences, this one is meant to delight your kids and give them the chance to learn about a different topography and experience in India. Make them board a traditional houseboat and glide over sparkling waters. This journey will open up a window for them to explore the outer world. Ask them to spot out pocket-sized villages, archaic temples, and aquatic wildlife and maybe create a storyboard or write a story on their experience. A houseboat trip is undoubtedly going to reward them with unforgettable moments.

Travelling with kids can indeed be an opportunity to inspire their creativity. At Club Mahindra, we hand-pick experiences especially for children featured around playfulness, curiosity, entertainment, and education. You can enroll them in workshops on puppet-making, pot painting, or magic. Taking up glass painting, bamboo craft and several other classes and activities is again a lot fun.
