DD7 is very creative. She's amazing at drawing and making up songs. We give her lots of space to explore.

You've gotten lots of good ideas, but I'll just add these two. My daughter loved going to the art museum with her sketchbook and copying paintings and drawing sculptures. I think she started getting into this at about age 4.
