Caitlyn Carmony - Play-Doh and Creativity

I remember reading somewhere in the article about a test they used to measure creativity. This test involved a child being given a toy firetruck and they had to name ways to improve the truck. The children came up with many answers, some that were a bit abstract. In class we were asked to create something that can hold something and then an item or items to put into that holder. I feel there was a connection between coming up with new holders and items and a child coming up with ideas to improve the firetruck. We came up with a holder and items, then a new holder and new items. I think we could have continued to do this for quite a while and still have came up with new holders and items each time. Some of our answers repeated, but some were very creative and sometimes abstract. I feel as a whole we are a creative class.
