Previous research on Lego has suggested that Lego might make children less creative because of the instructions that come with the kit. Researchers insist that following the instructions will undermine or undercut the ability of the participant to engage in a creative task.

I think it really depends, my daughter just builds it according to instruction and leaves it but I never did, I build it once or tried some variation but then it was just pure mayhem fantasy building! I loved Lego. I'd work for these guys if I could!

Awesome article, good memories!
