“Play isn't the enemy of learning, it's learning's partner. Play is like fertilizer for brain growth. Sometimes the best way to get the feel of a complicated subject is to just play with it.

“Learning and memory also seem to be fixed more strongly and last longer when learned in play.” Details on p 102
