Abstract: A changing society and environment provide opportunities for teachers to develop existing and new knowledge. The abundance of different methods enables the teacher to make the educational process more varied and creative. The creative interaction between teacher and child is not only a method of education but also a reciprocal process. The teacher, who allows the child to explore and create, becomes the child's guide into a world of self-expression and discovery. In contrast, the child gives the teacher's creativity a new perspective, spontaneity, and inspiration. The child acts as a natural explorer who asks unexpected questions, proposes original ideas, and encourages the teacher to look for new ways to communicate knowledge. Creative teaching is teaching characterized by original thinking and action. Students who are taught creatively may or may not become more creative. Creativity makes students more independent, more able to think outside the box, and more open to innovation and new experiences. Creativity can be said to be "taught" or at least given a stimulus. Creative activities in nature foster better development of students' practical skills. By acting creatively, students are better able to absorb new material, to find answers to their questions in the here and now, and to immediately combine theory with practice. Creative activities in nature make learners more disciplined, friendly, and resourceful and lead to more accurate, coherent communication and cooperation.
