Laura Carrasco Rodriguez’s Story

“This wasn’t just a lesson, it was hands-on problem-solving, resilience-building, and real-world application. They were having fun, but they were learning so much. That’s the power of learning through creativity.” Teacher, Bonner Primary School, London, during one of our Days of Play  

“What struck me most was the sheer creativity of the children; — the way they used their imagination, adapted to challenges, and showed real resilience. If something didn’t work, they didn’t give up; they kept refining and rethinking, seeing failure as part of the process rather than a setback.  

It was inspiring to watch them generate ideas so freely. With minimal prompting, every student created a unique design, then continuously adapted and improved it, making purposeful decisions along the way. The process itself reinforced their creativity.  

As a teacher, this was a real eye-opener. My class is full of energetic, lively children, and this workshop showed just how much potential they have when given the space to explore. What stood out most was how seamlessly play and learning were integrated; —this wasn’t just a lesson, it was hands-on problem-solving, resilience-building, and real-world application. They were having fun, but they were learning so much. That’s the power of learning through creativity.”
