There is a grassroots movement happening now that I love. It's all about families with children coming out to play. I am borrowing this picture from Kaboom's website today in the hopes that it inspires us to think more about inventive ways to create communities where children can play with one another outside, in their neighborhoods. In this picture, kids have been generously supplied with a variety of items that they can use to build their own pop-up play ground. It is just the type of play that I used to do growing up. The pop up playground here is more than just a playground. Designed by the children, it suddenly becomes a street festival where imagination lives. I want to do something like this in my community. For more info, please check out the Kaboom! Hot Topics in Play page on this blog. Or click on this link:

I really love your product. How creative and fun. I am going to buy some for my nephew Levi. He loves to use his imagination and pretend he is a mouse. Thank you for visiting me today and thank you SO much for the lovely comment. You were a blessing today.
ReplyDeleteNo link to Kaboom?? I love the idea! All one has to do is give the kids the permission and they do amazing things! That works with adults too.. sometimes we need to be reminded that we have permission to do amazing things :) I think you and Elliot could totally do something like that. I just noticed the other day one of the local street fairs around here is looking for interactive booths for children.. bet something like this would be great there.
ReplyDeleteHello, you can get more information about our movement. This was a blog article featuring the work that members of our team have been involved with for the last year. We have Pop-Up Adventure Playgrounds happening all summer. We'd love to connect with you... www.popupadventureplay.org.
