Haha- excellent! And amen, so true. How are kids to develop their fantasy when every thing is indeed functional, but as such limited to the functions given by the producer?
I see my (unfortunately already socially disturbed) neighbour's kids banging on a plastic piano which then translates the banging into Beethoven's 'Moonshine Sonata' or 'Pour Elise'. All day long. Great educational value. :/
