Creativity is putting all the balls in the paddling pool

Creativity is putting all the balls in the paddling pool, and then taking them all back out again.

Sometimes there isn’t a good reason to try something new. Other than, why not? 

We bought a new paddling pool in March. And for a few weeks this was my son Zac’s favourite game .

Creativity can be combining things in new ways. Sometimes just for fun. It’s being willing to see what happens when you do something different.
