This play area could be reduced by starting with a border, while being large enough so that it won't immediately be outgrown. 11-13 pixels squared seemed like a good starting point. "The Kid" is 6 years old, so I wanted to start with a smaller field. They could be placed randomly to create random or repeating patterns, but they could also be used to mimic simple pictures. The only variables are a choice between black and white and where to place each cube.
Instead of uniquely shaped pieces, they would all be identical.
My idea was to create a game or puzzle based on pixel art. Translation: too many choices and opportunities for failure. but my leading theory is that he's overwhelmed by all the different parts and possibility of improper assembly. In fact, The Warden will tell you I don't behave at all. He had absolutely no problem finding the proper parts, he just didn't want to put them together. I tried to make it less intimidating by knolling the parts and gathering what was necessary for each step, but he didn't take the bait. The specific toy was a small lego vehicle with several minifigs and while he jumped right into assembling the figurines, he stated that the vehicle was too hard and that he wasn't good at following the instructions. While mansitting my faux nephew (mansitting because he's not a baby and faux nephew because although my title is "Uncle BALES," we aren't actually related), I noticed a gap between his desire for creative play and his actual skill set.
