My take is that playing minecraft or such is fine. Instagram is not. Playing with blocks in real life is probably better (but I appreciate you can't build moats in real life so easily).

Creating = building with blocks, interacting, using imagination, creating.

Consuming = passive watching and input only. Watching someone play video games is consuming.
