When is a stick not a stick?


When it is:
... an umbrella
... or a horse
... or a broom
... or a walking stick
... or a snake
... or a hose
... or a river...

I love watching my kids get creative. 

I am willing to allow a (small) level of risk to let creativity happen.  Some might disagree. 21st century health and safety regulators might prefer that I get rid of the stick and send my kids inside to watch Baby Einstein DVDs.

But then there would be no creativity to observe.

Do you let your children take risks for the sake of learning?
