Seems like nature came up with a great method of modularity, and composability in the creation of DNA with the double helix and connecting molecules. A structure that can be modified and transcribed to literally build any living thing on earth. The ultimate Lego!

Please keep us posted on how your kids play with Legos!

As a kid I had a Cabbage Patch Kids doll. I was a big fan of Transformers, so I would often “transform” my doll into various objects like an airplane. To me that’s an example of modularity -- being able to use the doll in a way that wasn’t intended by the manufacturer.

I do feel like the pure creativity of limited options like playing with sticks to make everything is getting lost in the presence of so much specialized and targetted toys.
