To play, you have to make a mess. You have to dump everything into the floor, spread it about a bit, and take stock of what you have to play with. Ideally, all your toys will have been thoroughly mixed through weeks of “chaotic” play that is only chaotic to the uninitiated. To the experienced player, there’s a pattern in the mix of Jenga blocks, puzzle cubes, wooden train parts, and wood blocks that exists on a sort of quantum level. Add a basket of cars and a hobby horse and you have just about everything a little boy needs for a Sunday afternoon.
