Relationship between play and creativity

I believe play and creativity are related. As we were all being expose to learn different shapes and colours since young.

Example:

 
Colourful colours to catch our attention, different shapes for us to explore when we are young.

The design for playground are also example for us to see.

This are some examples, how playgrounds were designed to let kids to expose to different architect, they dont usually see, and also to make them to have more creative imagination.

When we play, we will always play things that caught our eyes. Why do people play board game? I believe the main reason are because it is interesting. The idea of board game is creative, the design for it is nice or cool.

Conclusion

Most of the time we play this things, are because it is interesting, creative and it got our attention. If the things we play are not as creative as it is now, we might not be interested with it at all. So my conclusion are, creativity and play cant be separated
