很多人以为小孩子的成长环境最好是很安静，而不是在吵杂的环境中长大。可是这不是绝对的，有调查显示：吵杂的环境会增加小孩子的创造力。

来看看下面的文章：

“Get messy” is actually a posted rule at Make-A-Messterpiece, a new kid-centric art studio located in the Chicago suburb of Glenview. That explains why in one corner of the room a kid beats paint-filled drums a la the Blue Man Group, and across from him another child holds up a piece of paper to a bubble-making machine, catching colored bubbles on it and laughing at the painted splatters it makes. The 10,000-square-foot space also offers a kitchen for nutritious cooking lessons, a lab for science experiments, and a kid-sized table for art projects of all kinds, supplies included.

As anyone who’s ever met a kid knows, getting messy is at the top of his or her list of talents. At the same time, that very trait usually tops caretakers’ list of annoyances. But here, at this fantasyland for kids, getting messy is their duty, and they get a chance to flex their creativity—something that’s proven to help them do better on aptitude tests and change the ways in which they approach problems—in an era when art class is becoming a distant memory in many public schools.

The space abounds with fun activities that are a part of a deeper lesson. At the Kids Creative Kitchen, they get servings of math and science while learning how to make a nutritious treat (for instance, Banana Fana Yo, made from bananas and graham crackers).
