Katherine Heigl thinks her children are "far more creative" after she limited their phone usage.

The former 'Grey's Anatomy' star and her husband Josh Kelley - who have kids Naleigh, 15, Adalaine, 13, and eight-year-old Joshua together - have noticed the benefits of their daughters not being allowed their smartphones for half the week.

Katherine told E! News: "Naleigh has started baking and cooking a lot because I now I have a rule about the phone: They don't get it three days a week and they only get it after school. "Adelaide, she talks about wanting to be an actress."

She has also noticed an improvement in the relationships between her children as a result of the rules.

She added: "[Adalaine] and her brother have been starting to play music together.

"Adelaide is playing the electric guitar, Joshua's playing the drums—and they're actually really good.

"It's really kind of beautiful to watch them do this together, and watch them be excited and interested in something other than their devices and their phones."
