Abstract

Today society needs people who are not only smart but also creative as a form of actualization towards a dignified nation, therefore the writing in this article collects various literacy sources and includes all available written and digital sources related to how to develop creativity through science. Creativity is an important aspect to be developed in individuals because it is a reflection of self-manifestation in creative thinking, the creative side exists in humans, but stimulation and support from internal and external factors can give results in the development or failure of creativity in each individual. For this reason, cultivating the spirit of creativity from an early age in children is a must for educators in preparing creative generations for the future. Various ways can be done to stimulate the development of creativity, one of which is to include scientific concepts in the learning and play process, effective science activities in developing children’s creativity, including playing exploration and experimenting by utilizing the surrounding environment, developing creativity through science can teach children to respect and love nature more.
