“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.-“ Carl Jung
“Play is fundamentally important for learning 21st century skills, such as problem solving, collaboration, and creativity.” – American Pediatric Association
“In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
“Playing should be fun! In our great eagerness to teach our children we studiously look for ‘educational’ toys, games with built-in lessons, books with a ‘message.’ Often these ‘tools’ are less interesting and stimulating than the child’s natural curiosity and playfulness. Play is by its very nature educational. And it should be pleasurable. When the fun goes out of play, most often so does the learning.” – Joanne E. Oppenheim
“A lot is said about the serious by the fact that the most intelligent person around is almost always the most playful.”
