Summary/Abstract: The author of the article presented the results of the research aimed at recognising and describing the ways in which preschool children’s creative activity is stimulated. The children described in the article are the participants of the “Physics for Kids” project fulfilled by the Scientific Foundation “Creative Thinking.” In particular, the research was to verify the way of shaping creative thinking and acting, as well as the signs of individualization of educational impacts. The research was carried out with the use of the diagnostic survey method and the technique of a categorised observation and a questionnaire. The research results show that, during the fulfilment of the project in question, children’s creative intellectual operations and actions based on making experiments are shaped. However, the adjustment and individualization of the contents and forms of working with children by the ones who carried out the “Physics for Kids” project has not always been fully implemented.
