    Whimsical potplants are back. After last year’s 10349 Happy Plants and the 11506 Rocking Plants, from May, we have a third set of potted plants, living their best life.

    As someone who has been playing with and building LEGO® bricks on and off for a while, I have found myself trying to understand how LEGO bricks work, as a prompt for play, creativity, and storytelling, as part of a greater System of Play. That said, with a background in biomedical sciences, I don’t have a solid grasp of the basics of play theory and play design.

I found this LEGO Explore/ DUPLO whistle from 2002 while I was in Denmark recently. It only appeared in 2 sets. It has a couple of holes, which lets you change the pitch. Let’s see if we can play a little tune. After arriving in Jutland, I made my way to the Flea Market.
