I Lego NY – Simplicity, Inspiration and Constructionism – SmartBean

I Lego NY – Simplicity, Inspiration and Constructionism – SmartBean

"Although Lego dutifully sells a plethora of kits accompanied by detailed instructions for creation of specific and intended objects, which are becoming increasingly big - in size and complexity, the greatest benefit perhaps is to be derived from allowing children to be completely unburdened and simply indulge in open-ended and free format creation and construction. The result would most likely be experimentation that draws from the world around the child in what the experts call "constructivism" and "constructionism". Like these incredibly simple, creative and cute artifacts."
