Thanks everyone, and Alan especially for raising the question. I agree with Eli that it’s all about the objective and purpose of LSP. For me this topic relates to the concrete/abstract trajectory of LSP: as discussed Duplo pieces (including animals and human figures) can be really helpful if they are taken metaphorically and enrich the conversation. However, I have seen them limit the conversation a little if they encourage participants to stick to the concrete or representative mode, in which case switching to more abstract builds using bricks might be called for.

As always, this depends on the context, participants and dynamics of the session and a skilled facilitator will make such decisions as the workshop develops. There is no one-size-fits-all approach!
