A fantastic new Ideas set from two incredibly talented designers, who built upon the work of other two incredibly talented designers. :-D I enjoyed hearing how these two got into being part of LEGO's design team.

When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...

Thank you, Lego, for letting me simply tell you online which parts were missing from the boy's Christmas present and sending them to me,...
Just bought a set of Duplo to my daughter. My wife is worried because she spends too much time on it.
ReplyDeleteI told her there are other things to worry about.
Olivier Malinur The biggest risk of spending too much time with building blocks is the increased likelihood of going into a technical field like engineering, math, or science.
ReplyDeleteI observed her.
ReplyDeleteThe construction is just a way for her to tell stories. She spend 15-20 min to build, then she starts to tell stories... I like how use technology as a tool not a final step.
Olivier Malinur That's a pretty natural phenomenon. I've watched a lot of kids of all ages experience LEGO. The tendency is for little kids to use them as story-telling props. They build just enough to serve as objects in whatever imaginative play they enjoy. Then, they get a bit older, and the amount of time they spend building starts to increase and the imaginative play starts to decrease to closer to parity. They start worrying about the actual functionality and/or aesthetic quality of what they're building, even if it doesn't totally enhance their creative play. Then, they get a bit older, and the transition to building first plus some creative play continues. Then, they become adults and there's (nearly) no creative play. I have to admit, though, that when I'm building, say, a spaceship with my son, I will pick it up, make some kind of whooshing sound with my mouth as I swoop it through the air, and then start building again. So I don't think people with any kind of imaginative play tendencies totally outgrow them; we're just more likely to enjoy the challenge of building what we imagine more than throwing ourselves into some imaginary storyline.
ReplyDeleteWhen I had Lego, I hated the instructions inside. I was building submarine, space ships but my owns, with the rooms for various use, like dormitory, refectory, torpedo room, control room.
ReplyDeleteThen I put HO Airfix soldiers and we play with marbles the submarine against the space ship, obviously to destroy them...
how can you "spend too much time playing"????
ReplyDeletewhat a ridiculous idea.
that's the entire point of childhood (and certain important careers in adulthood)
cecilia FXX , I think you should understand something called irony.
ReplyDeleteInnovative , I like the idea, Sometimes I introduce some of Lego movies too -- in my very serious Masters Class for City Planning and majority of all Adult students like to watch the animated stories, so that should means - Creative People dont outgrow innovation and Child play activities at any age.
