That box, no matter how big or small, is the most amazing, open ended resource that they could ever want! That box, that cardboard box, is a space ship, a car, a train, a hideout, a shop, a house – literally anything! The adventure begins within the child. A spark of excitement rushes through their bodies and with every thought and movement they make they become even more excited, deepening their involvement with the idea, their imagination and their learning.
When children are excited, they become sponges for learning. Like a sponge they absorb information and new ideas that are all around them. They begin to develop a growth mindset that triggers in itself, a desire for more learning, more information. They problem solve, they take risks, they grow their minds as they test their own knowledge.
It is a very common understanding that children are more interested in the box that the gift arrives in, rather than the gift itself – ever wondered why?
As adults we have learned through the years that the box is merely the packaging to something more exciting, something more than the box. To a child that box is everything they have even wanted. It is a blank canvas, limited only by their imagination and time.
