[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These kits are killing the creativity right out of our kids.

Have her design her own hotel with the pieces in whatever order she wants to use them.[/quote]

My kids build the sets, but also build their own creations. I disagree that they're killing creativity.[/quote]

The kits are. Not the building their own creations. [/quote]

Besides not having elementary kids, I am also getting the impression that you are not a very artistic/creative person.

The sets and instructions are wonderful at helping to build creativity.[/quote]

Actually I'm a studio art major and work in an elementary school. And I'm a mom. If you think that following instructions to make something that someone else designed builds creativity, you're sadly mistaken. Kids need opportunities to create something on their own and problem solve when it doesn't work (and by problem solving, I don't mean re-reading the directions more closely.) 
Get the kits. Enjoy them. But please take them apart, as many here already do, and let your kids get messy with them and build something totally out of their own imagination. And have the bins that have no directions whatsoever. 
Peace. [/quote]
