In its most basic defenition creativity is to make or bring into existence something new and of value. There is in eeveryone the power to be creative. When you see a product or idea and ponder why didn't I think of that? or How did they think of that? the answer is creativity. Creativity in the business world is one of the most savored and demanded skills.  Those that come up with the great ideas are rewarded financially and emotionally. There are numerous books on the subject. Children are naturally creative. Set ten children in front of ten separate piles of blocks and you are likely to get ten different constructions. Similarly, give the same children paper and crayons you will get ten different creations. Children have no internal mental blockages that can happen with experience. It is therefore, in my opinion, imperative to constantly challenge our children and ourselves with creative outlets. The great things about crafts are they meet this learning criteria (ie bringing into existence something new) and they are fun. Children love to be creative and they don't realize they are learning valuable life skills. By crafting, children also have a means of giving a personalized gift to someone they love and a sense of pride that they made this specifically for that person. In turn the recipient will also feel the same as the gift was created just for them. Whether you  craft, paint, play music enjoy sports or read/write keep your eyes open and think to yourself how can I make this better using that creative mind we all have.
