Two of my favorite scholars on the subject of creativity. In an environment of prescriptive standardized tests combined with online schools and oversaturated social media so much of this article feels particularly relevant.

We @LEGOfoundation think, learning through play needs to be a key component of reimagined education to ensure children develop the skills required to thrive in today’s and tomorrow's world. 🗨️ from @UN SG @antonioguterres 👇 #SaveOurFuture #learningthroughplay
Kenneth Wright retweeted
Kids need down time! Finish students spend less time learning in and out of school but their learning productivity is high... cramming more in kids heads doesn’t help with outcomes @LEGOfoundation @daveswords #OECDPISA

There are many upsides to letting kids play, such as helping kids build relationships with one another and improving behavior in disruptive students. ow.ly/iGa750xoehL

The perception of creativity is that it cannot be taught or assessed, or that it is separate to knowledge – that’s all wrong, says Professor Bill Lucas tes.com/news/why-you-a…

Children learn through play - it shouldn't stop at preschool. If we’re committed to improving outcomes for all children – and we know play benefits learning – we need to integrate play into schools’ formal learning structures. thesector.com.au/2019/11/17/chi…

How can pretend play create a positive space for children’s emotions? @ZhenRCam tells us more for the latest piece in the #ZtoAofPlay series: bit.ly/pretendplayemo… 为什么假装游戏对儿童情绪有特别的益处？饶贞在我们最近的字母玩系列中对此进行讨论。 @CamEdFac @Cambridge_Uni

"Play is active, not passive. It turns out the way we learn is active, not passive. When we're sitting there like a couch potato we aren't learning as much as when we're doing." Article by @NPR on the psychology of active play & learning with @KathyandRo1 npr.org/2019/10/10/769…
This is how change happens! Shout this from the rooftops! It starts with early, early child learning!

Really interesting exploration of play and power - the potential to change.

Key to success starts early: why are we shortchanging our kids?

This takes paper toys to an entirely new level. Excited to see what this can do for the “I’m bored” epidemic and to encourage more STEM/STEAM for kids!
