" It's better to play than do nothing" (Confucius)
"Play is the beginning of knowledge" (Anonymous)
The things that I was connected to where my play kitchen and legos, I loved to pretend play and I also liked building things.(not my actual kitchen or legos....lol)
My cousin supported my play because she was the one that always played with me. I would love when she came over we would be in my kitchen all night and after that we would pretend like we where building towers and all kinds of things.
My feelings on play today is that it very different then it was when I was younger. The difference is that technology is a lot more advanced, we didn't have I-pad or Xbox's we where not afraid to go outside and play in the dirt. Just last week my two year old said she wanted an I-pad for her birthday....lol, technology is everywhere.
Hi LaRoyia,
ReplyDeleteYou are exactly correct about technology taking the place of playing. I like the story about your daughter wanting an I-Pad. Cute story!
