Abstract

This article is a theoretical reflection on the processes of creativity and children’s creativity in an effort to enlighten the reader about recent studies on the subject with a special focus on the historical-cultural theory of Vigotski. Creativity is understood as a psychic process which, in the child, stars very early and developes alongside other superior functions as imagining, thinking, remembering and playing. The ability to create is linked to the historical, familiar, and school context and also to the wealth of experiences lived out by the child. And as human activity, it is semiotically mediated by culture.
