RETRO TOY BLOG part three

SIMPLICITY. IS. FREE. So using the imagination, we have: toys of The Creative. Such as: a cardboard box, cardboard roll from paper towel, bubble wrap, pillows, blankets, socks, chalk or rocks, bubbles, shoe laces, nature (grass, sticks, dirt, snow, rain, clouds, sand and water), and whatever else you can come up with, how you use them is your fun. A big cardboard box makes a fort, as does pillows and blankets; a small box makes a garage for your toy cars or box shoes or whatever; socks balled up make for sock wars and if you make it big enough and bend a hanger into the shape of a basketball net and slide it under the top of a shut closet door: basketball game; chalk for the outdoor artist; bubbles for the dreamer; shoe laces for the nautical lover; and anything else in nature that you can make a game out of. Remember when those were the best game of all: hangin' out with friends and just creating something original and goofy, maybe digging in the sand at the beach or putting blades of grass together to make a whistle or trying to guess animals out of cloud shapes while lying on your back in the grass looking skyward in the summer. That feeling may be what life is really all about. Simple isn't it.
