Dec.22,2010Money Stretcher “Dirt Poor” TOYS
Guess I’m still like that. All my life I’ve never had an over abundance of money…And an OVER ABUNDANCE of WANTS.
With a tiny house , mom, dad and 5 kids, dad the “town drunk: and mom over-worked…their never was “fancy stuff” come Christmas. Lucky to have a place to sleep.
Still, KIDS NEED THINGS TO PLAY WITH.
How? NO MONEY!
Well, CREATE your OWN entertainment!
A big box = a FORT / HOUSE / TRAIN
STICKS can become SMALL DOME HOMES when you get to MY age
A Pop Straw = a BLOW GUN…or SPIT BALL “shooter”
Draw or cut from Funny Page Strips “people”, a bent heavy paper “tab” glued at base helps them Stand
PAPER DOLLS = DRAW “Clothing” / cut with TABS to hold /fold to DRESS THEM
Nut Shell boats…with SAILS
Block of thin wood = RUBBER BAND Paddle Wheeler Boats
Hand Puppets Paper Maca’ Marreninetts
And On and ON
ALL MADE BY KIDS!
Paper / Sticks / String / Rubber Bands / Steak Knife serrated knife for saw /
+ IMAGINATION = HOURS OF T O Y S!
Why BUY a toy THAT PLAYS WITH THEMSELVES!? When NATURE / Cheap ‘on hand’ “tools” / and a KID, can BRING TOYS TO LIFE…all on their OWN! ????
WHY ROB your CHILD of the PLEASURE of “I MADE IT!”?
GIVE THEM BACK their BRAIN!
