Creativity is currently among the hot topics in child development and education, which is
also of utmost importance in psychological studies and environmental design. Previous
research has thus far highlighted the effects of the surrounding environment on creativity
development in this age group. Since an individual's personality is formed in childhood,
researchers working on creativity have further focused on this stage of life. Therefore, this
study was to reflect on the relationship between creativity and educational environments for
children aged 2-10, and identify and explain the environmental components shaping
creativity, utilizing the attitude of recognizing physical and mental dimensions in children
and meeting their needs as users. Employing the exploratory research method and
qualitative content analysis, the main variables contributing to the relationship between the
environment and children's creativity were delineated, and there were attempts to
recapitulate this relationship via logical reasoning. This study was a qualitative metaanalysis
because an analytical approach, based on the theories presented in previous
research, was adopted. The study results revealed that the architectural environment could
foster children's creativity. In addition, a suitable platform would be provided for children
to flourish and strengthen their creativity if the educational environments were designed
with the aim to comply with the principles of child psychology.
