Abstract: This paper reports and discusses the findings of a lab in the field experiment on creativity with schoolchil- dren aged 7 to 11. More in detail, we find that in creative drawings with constraints, the tools made available (markers) have different impacts on creativity depending on gender. Moreover, other than such tools, the creativity expressed is explained by factors that differ between males and females. These find- ings contribute to the literature abound gender differences in creativity by finding a setting where kids perform differently depending on gender. Furthermore, our findings suggest practical implications for policies aimed at promoting creativity in education settings.
