Imagine yes they can!

I have 2 of my grandchildren boy3 and girl 20 mths every Friday. My house is full of toys plus my iPad. Four weeks ago I had a package delivered. It was one of those boxes with small boxes inside and bits of corrugated cardboard. While I was busy with his younger sister my little lad built the most complex garage imaginable with this box. He was totally engrossed in this play. When he left I hated to dismantle it. So stored it in our garage. I took it out today and just left it in the living room. Without promoting he began to build again. I have witnessed this sort of play with my children and my other grandchildren and its a joy to behold and proves to me that no matter how high tech we get, no matter what the toy manufacturers produce a box is never just a box to a child and children's imaginations are working as well as they ever did despite our indulging them with the latest toys and gadgets.
