Creativity

Paige conceived and built this tower almost entirely on her own. She was very proud of it and we had to leave it up for about a week so we could all check it out.
It was built out of our Contstrux. These toys were a favorite of Steven's when he was growing up and we were able to find some on ebay a couple years ago that we gave Orion for Christmas. I love open-ended toys like this that let the kids use their imaginations and also do some problem solving.
Paige's challenge with this model was to figure out how to make it stand on its own. I suggested adding a base, and Orion gave her a few design tips and she was off and running.
