The Importance of Play
Most of us know that children and babies learn through play. It is a universal and fundamental human right that all children have opportunities for free time and to play. I have always found delight in travelling to other countries and watching how children interpret their own environment and create games and toys out of what seems like very little. These kids obviously didn’t have much but I love that they had created some toys using found objects and were playing happily when we met them.

Definitely true! Kids learn to be more creative as well when they have less, even if it’s just about playing.
I agree. I think my own kids would be challenged to come up with toys from some things they found on the beach, but maybe if I took away their screens they would surprise me!
Love their smiles. Beautiful photo 🙂
Thanks! They are gorgeous aren’t they?
They are 🙂
I saw this photograph on the reader and knew it had to be taken in Zanzibar! Nice!
Thanks!
Lovely smiling faces! Great photo.
Thanks Amy!
Just love this picture
I love it too. Such sunshiney smiles.
We could all take a leaf out of their book…being happy with what we have and using everyday found objects with delight. Thank you for a lovely photo…they are just so cute!
