In my last post, I talked about how wonderful it was to see the children at the campsite playing cooperatively with what they found and no one fought. I also noticed that children who normally don't play together because of age difference were playing alongside each other and creating and using their brains! It was pretty amazing. Then Alice, one of the other moms at the camp out, linked to this amazing youtube video (on the free-range kids website) showing kids playing with 'found objects' in a school setting. It made me so excited! The other mothers in my local MOMS Club were practically giddy with the idea of setting up our own playpod for back yards, and for functions. I am too! Watch and enjoy the wonder of childhood imagination. I may be raiding the scrap yard on Dickerson Road soon!
