Meet Your Creative Guide and “The Guardian of the Idea”

Think with Things began in the world of education. Jules Gilleland, an educator and designer, saw firsthand how everyday objects could spark curiosity, creativity, and deeper learning for children. She designed playful experiences that turned traditional classrooms into spaces of exploration and wonder.

Over time, this approach grew beyond schools. Businesses, cultural institutions, and organizations began using Think with Things to unlock fresh ideas, solve problems, and strengthen collaboration. From classrooms to boardrooms, the method proved that the simple act of playing with objects could lead to powerful breakthroughs.

Now, through THINGS LAB, this experience is available to everyone. Whether you’re an educator seeking to transform your classroom, a business leader looking to foster innovation, or a parent hoping to spark creativity at home, THINGS LAB is your space to play, explore, and grow.

5 Tips to Get Started

  • Choose one object within arm’s reach and ask yourself — What else could this be? Let your imagination wander and see what new ideas emerge.

  • Gather a mix of objects from different rooms or spaces. The more variety, the more unexpected your ideas will be!

  • When working through a problem, try asking playful "what if" questions. What if this stapler was a spaceship? What if this spoon solved your business challenge? Let the absurdity lead you to unexpected solutions.

  • Invite others to join in. Whether it’s your colleagues, students, or kids, shared perspectives lead to richer ideas. Set a timer and build on each other’s thoughts using objects as inspiration.

  • There are no wrong answers in Think with Things. Let go of perfection and follow your curiosity. Some of the best insights come from unexpected moments of play.
