“Toys are preludes to serious ideas.”
Charles and Ray Eames
Those shiny toys, they give us all the answers and leave little to the imagination. What could unleash creativity like a blank paper does for a pack of gel pens instead turns off the lite-brite of ideas.
Charles and Ray Eames knew about the risks of shiny objects all along.

The abundance of toys and the ipad/tv really stifle the creativity of children. My wife and I seek simplicity for our children as much as we can.
