Childhood Connections to Play

 

I love this quote! Cause I always felt like if your play/ have fun hard. Then children really have accomplished their job fo the day.

I remembered this as a child. I had a little girl cabbage patch kid doll, that came with her very own birth certificate and a large chalk board for me to write on. I remembered I used to draw and do games and writing on that board.

Man. I loved this stuffed animal/ ball. We used to kick and throw this poppel all over the house. I still have mine! This is one of the few things that I have from my childhood. I have this exact same one as my brother have the white one.

This is another toy that I enjoyed as a child. The Litee-Brite. This game was so fun to create different things and have it glow up as you made your creation. 

By far today's play is very different from mine. I am and 80's baby. We had to rely more on our imagination. And the toys that we played with was not that far technology advanced. Play as I grew up was more interesting, exciteting. We had more exploration on figuring things out. We did more hands on investigation, as of now children can investigate on the web and not actually put in the physical work on knowing exactly how things work. And our play forced us to be more socially face to face interaction. So we had to have verbal conversations with each other. Now must things are done by email, text or some sort of social platform that the children as well as adults do not know how to interact with each other.
