creative childrens toy

We often hear people say that children nowadays have become so captivated with electronic toys that they are missing on the learning value that can be gleaned from the creative childrens toy. I remember how my brother labored over a kite made of newspaper. There was some help from my father but it was mostly him who cleaned the bamboo stick, glued the paper to the stick and pasted a long tail. I remember also the look of satisfaction on his face when the kite flew a few feet but fell unceremoniously to the ground. It was his moment of glory.

He also made a toy telephone by attaching two empty milk cans with a long piece of string. When you talked loudly into one can another can listen from the other can place near his ears. They had a lot of fun making funny sounds. These were just some of the little projects that might have tickled their creativity. These were not original ideas but the fact that they made it themselves made it their very own creative ideas.
