Idea Generation During Play

Take a 5 year old boy and a pile of cut flax leaves. During an hour of intense concentration and un-interrupted play we see weaving, knots, wearable items followed by “warrior” outfits and lasso traps. Many ideas with a few lengths of flax. 

A great example of deep exploration and creative play. Ideation, prototyping, building and role-play. A simple version of the process of innovation and where it can all begin.

About

Nurturing The Creative Mind Of Our Future Innovators.

There is a concept known as 'beginner’s mind' which is said to be an attitude of openness, eagerness and lack of preconceptions, very similar to that of a child.

This site explores the 'beginner's mind' creative abilities of children at play and the connection to design thinkers and innovators.

Children are open to exploration, discovery and experimentation. They learn about their world around them by pushing the limits, discovering what’s possible and what’s not.

Children are hard-wired to be creative, imaginative and innovative- abilities that often diminish along the way.

Maybe we can better understand these inherent creative skills during play and learning, to help us encourage and support a new breed of innovative thinkers more prepared to solve future challenges of our world.
