Evaluating creativity aims to assess what profile each infant's creativity has so that proper education can be given them based on evaluation. This study is a basic study on the development of a evaluation index to estimate design creativity and understand the basic principles of three dimensional model design expression, and try to find a systematic method of the evaluation on design creativity using a three dimensional sculpture. This study evaluated creativity based on area of “Manipulation of creativity" that produces creative product using materials among the areas of creativity. To evaluate creativity of three-dimensional model design, evaluation elements classified by leading researchers who are related to creativity research are in groups, and eight kinds of evaluation elements were extracted such as originality, fluency, flexibility, immersion, practicality, safety, interest, esthetics. For program of learning process plan of creativity evaluation for children, the evaluation was conducted by 3 kinds of learning process plan. First, results of the creativity evaluation shows children aged between 4 and 5 have higher originality than children aged between 6 and 7, and it suggests creative education in the best period of creativity development of childhood is even more important. Second, children aged between 6∼7 have high grade in aesthetics and practicality, it seems they recognize right answer on the results that what the most beautiful and useful are. Therefore, education program and evaluation index should be developed continuously to utilize in design creative education practically through an in-depth study.
