Group 2 - Creating stairs with softcube

The boy uses the shapes to make a ladder and jumps off several times. Although his mother helps out, he seems to be directing her. She doesn't suggest that he makes a square.

Group 3 - building softcube

The Grandfather seems to be directing. They make several attempts at building the cube. "Not quite" The man tells me that they have an identical puzzle at home and his grand daughter can do it in nine seconds.

Group 4 - building softcubes

Father: "You've got to build a cube. This one goes over here that one goes over there. You destroy everything. We're trying to make a cube. What are you doing! We're trying to make something." "In the middle ... not you in the middle." After they have finished on the exhibit, I have a brief conversation with the father. He says that he doesn't try to guide the children, rather he lets them explore: "If you try to guide them they just destroy things... The older child will be going to school soon and then he will have more structure."
