INTRODUCTION
For preschool children, manual labor activities play an important role not only in developing
their motor skills, but also in forming their creative thinking. Various types of manual labor, such
as painting, working with plasticine, creative activities with paper and other materials, are very
effective tools for children to express themselves, develop imagination and creativity. These
activities create an opportunity for children not only to master skills, but also to create new ideas
and put them into practice.
The article analyzes various types of manual labor, how they can ensure the creative
development of children, as well as the importance of integrating manual labor into the
educational process by educators. The role of manual labor activities in the development of
children's creative thinking is invaluable, because they not only increase children's imagination,
but also affect social, emotional and cognitive development.
At the same time, manual labor activities play an important role in strengthening cooperation
among children, expressing emotions, and self-awareness. The study aims to determine the
impact of various types of manual labor on children's creative development and to propose
effective methods for increasing children's creativity through pedagogical approaches.

METHODOLGY
In this article, the following scientific methods and approaches were used to study the impact of
various types of manual labor on the creative development of children:
Analytical-methodological approach
This methodology allowed for a thorough analysis of the impact of various types of manual labor
on children's creative development. Using an analytical approach, scientific literature,
pedagogical experience and theories were studied that indicate the importance of manual labor in
the formation of children's creative activity. The goal is to analyze pedagogical practices aimed
at the creative development of children and determine how various manual labor activities can be
used in this process.
Empirical research methods
The study used empirical methods to study children's creative development. Using this method,
several experiments were conducted with preschool children, in which various manual labor
activities were practiced, including painting, working with clay and plasticine, using paper and
other materials. During the study, the level of children's creative activity was observed and their
imagination and creativity were assessed. As a result of the research, clear results were obtained
on how manual labor develops children's thinking.
Experimental method
The study attempted to determine the effectiveness of various manual labor activities aimed at
developing children's creative activity using the experimental method. Experiments were
conducted in a number of groups of children, and differences in creative thinking among them
were studied. After the children participating in the experiment were engaged in various manual
labor activities, their creative thinking skills, created works, and approaches to solving problems
were analyzed.
Learning and observation methods
https://ijmri.de/index.php/jmsi

565
Learning and observation methods were used to carefully observe the changes and development
of children during manual labor activities with children. Through this method, educators noted
the children's creative activities, emotional expression, attitude to materials, and what changes
occurred during various manual labor activities.
Combined approach
The study studied the main aspects of children's creative development, their cognitive and
emotional states, through a combination of approaches - that is, the coordinated use of practical
and theoretical methods. Using theoretical analysis and practical observations, the impact of
pedagogical tools and methods aimed at developing children's creative activity was studied. This
approach made it possible to determine the effectiveness of the indicated pedagogical approaches
on the creative development of children.
Methodological recommendations and pedagogical practices
During the study, methodological recommendations were developed on the effective use of
manual labor activities in the creative development of children. These recommendations show
educators how to organize manual labor activities in order to develop children's imagination,
increase creativity, and form socio-emotional skills.
RESULTS
Based on the experiments and observations carried out during the research, the following results
were obtained on the effectiveness and impact of manual labor activities on children's creative
development:
Increase in Creative Activity:
According to the results of the research, when children were constantly involved in manual labor
activities, their creative activity increased significantly. Manual labor, especially painting,
working with clay and plasticine, and the use of paper and other materials, helped children
expand their imagination and create new ideas. Children developed their creative thinking by
expressing themselves, creating new forms and images.
Changes in Cognitive Development:
Manual labor activities also affected children's cognitive development. Experiments showed that
children improved their logical thinking, problem-solving and creative abilities when working
with materials. This led to positive changes in the ability to think logically and make creative
decisions, especially in young children. Children showed greater interest in implementing new
ideas and sought new solutions when working with different materials.
Emotional Development:
Crafts also had a significant impact on children's emotional development. The children who
participated in the study felt free to express their feelings and demonstrate their creativity.
Through crafts, they felt comfortable and at the same time, their self-confidence increased. This
made a significant difference, especially in the development of children's self-expression.
Social Activity and Cooperation:
In crafts, children often worked in groups, which helped develop their social skills. Group work
strengthened children's ability to help each other, exchange ideas, and solve problems together.
In this process, children learned to express their opinions on each other's work, cooperate, and
solve problems in groups. This had a positive impact on their socio-emotional development.
Effect of Developing Creative Activity:
Handicraft activities also had a lasting and positive impact on the development of children's
creative activity. The children who participated in the study further developed their creative
potential while working with different materials and learned to look for new approaches. They
showed more courage in putting new ideas and concepts into practice. As a result, children
increased their ability to express themselves through their creative development.
Pedagogical Recommendations:
The results of the study showed that in order to effectively use handiwork in children's creative
development, educators should pay attention to the following aspects:

Creating opportunities to work with different materials and providing innovative tools for
children.
Helping children develop their creative activity, but providing them with the necessary freedom
to freely express their thoughts.
Organize activities to support teamwork and develop social skills

DISCUSSION
This study has identified many positive and negative aspects in studying the impact of manual
labor activities on children's creative development. The results of the study showed how different
types of manual labor for children affect their creative development. This section discusses some
important aspects based on the analysis of the research results.
1. The relationship between creative development and manual labor
The importance of manual labor activities in children's creative development has been
emphasized in several scientific studies. The results of the study showed that children increase
their creative activity through various manual labor activities (painting, working with clay,
working with plasticine and other materials). These activities expand their imagination, help
generate new ideas and develop creativity. Manual labor activity provides children with an
opportunity to try out new ideas and imaginations, as well as an impetus for self-expression, self-
awareness and the development of creativity.
2. Pedagogical practices and the effectiveness of manual labor
The effective use of manual labor in the pedagogical process is of great importance in the
creative development of children. During the study, children were offered various manual labor
activities, for example, drawing, working with clay and plasticine. These activities, along with
the development of children's motor skills, also helped to increase their creative thinking.
However, the methodological approaches of educators and methods of working with children
also play a big role. If a purely technical approach is used, aimed only at teaching children
practical skills, this can negatively affect their creative development. Therefore, educators should
give children freedom in developing their creative potential and encourage them to realize
various fantasies.
3. Changes in emotional and social development
During the study, significant changes were also observed in the emotional development of
children. Manual labor activities became a way for children to express their feelings. At the same
time, during the group work, children developed cooperation and social skills. This showed that,
especially during group work, children learned to help each other, exchange ideas and solve
problems together. However, some children did not feel fully free to express themselves or had
difficulty expressing their thoughts openly. To prevent this problem, educators need to create an
environment for children to express their thoughts freely.
4. The importance of working with different materials
Working with different materials is of great importance in supporting children's creative
development. During the study, children increased their creativity by working with different
materials such as clay, plasticine, paper, and colored pencils. These materials expand children's
thinking and skills, while helping them to create new ideas and imaginations. At the same time,
the variety of materials gives children the freedom to choose their own creative approaches and
strengthens their creativity.
5. Methodological recommendations and practical problems
The results of the study showed the role of manual labor activities in enhancing children's
creative development, but there are also some methodological difficulties in pedagogical practice.
First of all, educators need to pay more attention to creating freedom and opportunities for
children's creative development. When organizing manual labor activities, it is necessary to
provide children with the necessary help and advice, but also to allow them to think and imagine
independently. It is also necessary for educators to organize manual labor in an interesting and
developing way for children.

Based on the above studies and experiments, it has been proven that the development of
children's creative development through manual labor activities is of great importance. The
results of the study showed that various manual labor activities, especially painting, working
with clay and plasticine, and the use of other materials, significantly increase children's creative
activity.
Through manual labor, children have the opportunity to expand their imagination, create new
ideas, and develop their motor skills. The children who participated in the study achieved
significant changes in creative thinking by increasing their creativity, creating new forms, and
expressing their feelings.
Also, group work and social activities among children developed their skills in cooperation,
exchange of ideas, and teamwork. In this process, children strengthened their creative thinking,
problem-solving, and searching for different approaches.
However, there are also some methodological difficulties in the pedagogical process. For crafts
to be successful, educators should give children the freedom and support they need to realize
their imagination.
Suggestions
Expanding crafts:
Educators should expand crafts to enhance children's creative development. Providing children
with opportunities to work with different materials can greatly help develop their imagination.
For example, by using paint, clay, plasticine, paper, and other materials, children can try
themselves in creating new shapes and images.
Ensuring freedom and independence:
Freedom plays an important role in children's creative development. Educators should give
children the freedom to realize their imagination, but at the same time, guide them to new ideas
and approaches. This helps children develop self-expression and creativity.
Supporting group work:
Working in groups helps children develop social skills. Teachers should create opportunities for
group activities, mutual assistance, exchange of ideas and cooperation between children. This is
an important factor for socio-emotional development.
Implementing innovative pedagogical approaches:
Teachers should use innovative pedagogical approaches to organize manual labor activities more
effectively. For example, it is useful to use digital technologies, provide interactive tools for
children and implement modern methods that help develop their creative potential.
Encouraging children's creative work and results:
Encouraging children's creative work will motivate them to further increase their creativity.
Showing students interest in their creative work, rewarding and encouraging their successes will
increase their confidence in their creativity.
Developing advanced training programs for teachers:
It is necessary to develop advanced training programs to support the creative development
processes of teachers. Teaching educators the pedagogical methods, innovative approaches, and
practical skills necessary to effectively organize their manual labor activities will help make their
work more effective.
