A simple creative thinking exercise for kids to play at

Here's a simple creative thinking game you can play with your kids that will encourage them to become brilliant lateral thinkers. The idea is to show your kid a simple household object, such as a saucepan or a sieve, and simply ask them: WHAT ELSE COULD THIS BE?

This magic question is enough to launch their creative thinking on lateral pathways that will have them gushing out with new ideas in no time at all. Great for car, train or plane journeys. Your kids will love this little game and soon come to initiate it themselves, with the obvious benefit that they grow up to be great at lateral thinking, with swift, fluid, creative minds. Wahoo!
