Abstract
Although the Design Thinking (DT) methodology appeared more than 10 years ago with the aim of promoting creative thinking and innovative ideas to improve or create a product or service, it is not common to hear about its use in the educational field. It is for this reason that a research exercise was carried out in which this methodology was incorporated to design a didactic strategy that would encourage the creative planning of preschool teachers in an educational institution in the municipality of Floridablanca (Santander, Colombia). For this, a qualitative research exercise was carried out through which the perceptions of preschool teachers about creativity and the methodologies to promote it in class design and institutional planning were collected. The didactic strategy is reflected in a toolbox for use by teachers, based on the different moments of DT.
