Don't these look just yummy? I don't think all of them stay on farms per se, but its just the lifestyle that is sooooo encouraging for creative play. They make fun out of anything, garden soup, potato stamps, decorating food and all sorts of stuff. I mean, for instance their kids! They have SO much space for imagination. They play in the dirt, muck around with fuzzy animals, "help" mum grow or make things. It's not like us here, whose kids grow up mainly on tv, factory-made toys etc, where parents are so concerned that kids stay clean [Don't you go touching that dirty little dog, young man! You never know what germs they carry] and keep their children in a sterile bubble of lackluster BORING life. It seems like these things stifle imagination and creativity! Perhaps i won't have a television in my future home, gasp!One of them, Soulemama, she embroiders really cute designs based on her kids' drawings! Isn't that so absolutely cute? Paper and colour will fade and get thrown away but these little things remain.
If i ever have kids, i think i'd like them to have just as much fun and play as these kids obviously do. I can only hope one day i'd be a mum who encourages all these little imaginations into great creative people. Perhaps all my kids toys will be lovingly handmade by me. Perhaps i'll spend hours drawing and writing up bedtime stories for my little ones. Haha, we'll see where God leads, yes?
