When I was young, my mother got in post some medicine advertisements, which were kind of pictures of light, as if abstract paintings of healing. She choose some (is it 2 to 5?) of them, glued them to woodsheets snd shawed to quite round complex uneven pieces, so that it was a nice thing to try to build again, even though there were only some pieces and there was an edge one piece, maybe glued to a square woodsheet.
When I was younger there was a wooden or plastic? box with holes of different forms on top: square, half a cirle, star, cross, reqtangular shape. And the idea was to fit pieces of different forms each to the hole of such a shape. That has been very good for thinking.
When my Japanese spitz was young and tried to be aggressive near one's food bowl, I put a cushion between me and him, and so he learned that also a fluffy ball can be militarily convincing, for example a samurai.
My Japanese spitz wasn't so sporty. It tried to rush to catch others in speed, and such didn't appear healthy. So I gave him room to run like a fluffy ball, which maybe resulted as a style of a happy fat person, but looked quite nice.
What is quite common, was that we played with legos, had quite basic forms of them and not much any ready forms of them. So we learned what one can build from easy basic tiles and other basic forms. That was very useful when in the 1970's the engineering point of view was dominant. Legos seem to be important in understanding the modern world. Also so for Asians?
