The Thing about Swings

By Mona Patel

"What if an elephant really wanted to use a playground? Could that work? Would anyone try to make that work?

At some point in life, everyone-- even make-believe elephants-- loses the drive to play, create, and try new things. Instead, we live by what we ""should"" do. We maintain the status quot. But what if we did more?

Walk through the design process with an elephant to discover how a swing re-inspires curiosity, vulnerability, and persistence to go for ""crazy"" ideas, even when a skunk keeps saying it can't be done. Our hope is that kids learn to question, dream, and design a better world. "
