Creative art is also an open ended activity. Children can go as far as they wish with it - it isn't following a particular formula, it is about doing their thing. It allows them to have a real active role in their learning (very Vygotsky!!) Also creative activities allow for lots of communication, lots of chat and social development, again something the theorists love!
Hope this helps
