Play is serious business. For both children and adults! It creates state of mind where we can be creative, open-minded, relax, learn easily,.. honestly it’s like a super-power. (and we might call it hobbies later in life ;) ) Do you remember ”that presentation/talk/advert” with twinkle in the eye? Anything playful is easier to keep in mind. There is a lot children can teach us. (us = boring adults) ;) #IKEAPlayReport
