Crayola's Campaign for Creativity challenges perspectives on the value of creativity and aims to inspire guardians to make more room for creativity in kids' lives.
To coincide with UN World Creativity and Innovation Day, Crayola is debuting a short film series called Stay Creative. This series shares the stories of three adults who participated in a Crayola art program as kids. The series reunites each adult with their childhood artwork and inspires reflection on the way creativity impacted their lives, and how they nurture creativity in their own children.
Crayola partnered with the Ad Council Research Institute on a creativity study and the research analyzed parents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors on creativity, finding that 9 in 10 say creativity is important for their child.
