SuperOldschool
Remember when catching grasshoppers and putting them in your black rubber lidded garbage cans was the latest and greatest? Or how about hide-and-seek out in the tall meadows grass growing freely to the sky? This game (as seen in the picture to the left) is 'put rock in the hole' YUP, just that simple. No videogame, no tv, just good ol' pick it up and put it in; kerrrrplunk. The days of when you were 'bored' and you were told to GO OUTSIDE seem to have slowly wain within the supernova of consistantly evolving and reproducing technology. I get it, I do.....sometimes you NEED to slow down. I watch movies with my daughter, we play songs on my smartphone, and yes I own a Nintendo Wii.....HOWEVER, these only retain magic if we have CONSISTANTLY allowed our childrens brains to develope in the REAL world. An OUTSIDE world. One with dirt, mess, rocks and sticks. Where they can build a 3-dimensional PHYSICALLY THERE structure to play in....to CREATE, thrive, SOCIALISE and learn hands on. Soooooo.....'put rock in the hole'
