Hmm, what did imaginative play give kids? Besides creativity of course, since that was the obvious answer. Caleb tapped his chin a few times before raising his hand to answer.
"It teaches you to be resourceful. When kids are playing make believe they often use household items to be props. Like, one time, I had one of those...muggle toys where there's a t-rex head on the end of a stick, and the other end has a handle that makes its mouth open and close...and I used it as a paddle while I was sitting on a beanbag chair pretending I was paddling down a river in a canoe," he said, not even hesitating about sharing that slightly strange story with the class.
ACTUALLY, he was acting out the Disney classic "Pocahontas" and singing along, making up most of the words as he went, but he of course was not going to share THAT.
"So basically, you learn how to think outside the box not only with your imagination, but with physical items too, so if you ever need to Macgyver something out of whatever you have in front of you, you're trained to do so," he added.
That was the term, right? Macgyver? He had no idea what it meant but he was pretty sure that was the word. His Uncle Ben used it a lot. She was the Muggle Studies professor, she'd get what he was going for...
