The children are intrigued by these invitation, and it's only a matter of minutes before they find themselves engaged in a new world of possibilities.

If you tell somebody something, you've forever robbed them of the opportunity to discover it for themselves.

From the dawn of time, whenever humanity has wanted to know more, we have achieved it most effectively not by removing ourselves from the world to ponder and theorize, but rather by getting our hands dirty and making careful observations of real stuff. In short, we have learned primarily by tinkering.

The thing itself, the first thing, will never do us alone, we must be elaborating, improving, poeticising.

A creative invitation is a combination of materials and context that intrigue children with a suggestion of play.
