Creativity is human ability to cope with life situations and tasks in an unusual way which is unique for each human being. In case of the adults, creativity is usually linked to emergence of new values, new products, discovery, technological procedure etc. Nevertheless, situation is different in case of children's creativity. This kind of creativity brings "new discoveries" only from the child's subjective perspective. As for pedagogues, it is crucial to realize that the creativity is not an intellectual activity. Imagination, fantasy, dramatization, game and other activities are important parts of this process. Present school system, although there are many attempts at transformation, does not respect this fact.
The contribution is showing one way to development of creativity in pupils at the primary schools.

Keywords: creativity, creative pupil, making a puppet, dramatic education, integrated education.
