**With What Do We Get to Play?
We all know that children play. They play unstoppably. Playing comes as naturally as breathing for them. Much of the time they play with anything available. Although we sometimes think that we need to provide them with all the current play paraphernalia, an eighth assumption. This stuff represents an epiphenomenon of marketing and does not essentially reference play. Most of us have clear memories of play that didn’t require the latest toy. In fact many of us have memories of play where the toys came from something meant for use as something else. We have other memories where even the toy existed only in our imagination. With imagination we embarked on behaviors we call play. If we didn’t get called home to dinner or bed, and even if we did, we played well into our sleep.
Suggestion # y: Toy reverie
Recall memories of childhood play with simple substituted ‘toys’ or with ‘toys’ made of only imagination. Include a detail. Consider a diagram with text explanation. Leave comments::
