Daily Create #tdc2710

For this Daily Create, it did not take me long to figure out what aspect of my childhood I wanted to “create” or display. However, I did run into a few obstacles along the way… I had no clue how I was going to represent this. I do not have any pictures of this playroom and if I were to make the drive (1.5 hours) it would not show the “childhood” experience. It has now been since changed into more formal guest quarters. So… what was I going to do. I was not satisfied with trashing this idea of mine because it does bring back so many happy memories. I would love to go back and record how many hours (countless, I would confidently say) were spent playing. I was luckily enough to grow up when there was not an easy access to iPads or screens. So imaginative play was what consumed all of my time and energy. So let me give you a little tour. You enter the playroom on the third floor. The best part was it was so far away, you could use an outside voice and mom and dad wouldn’t come running!! As you enter the room, to the right their is a desk. It was used by my parents at some point and time, however the little teacher in me had always been drawn to a desk and paper, pens, etc. So I spent a lot of time playing there! Pretending to grade papers (as if that is ANY fun now…) There was a carpet which was a Lego mine… Your feet better watch out. Ouch! And lastly….. my most favorite place. The “store” and kitchen. This was the best part of my childhood. I would play in my kitchen and “store” all day long. Talking to fake people, and finding them fake groceries, or making them fake food. Gosh! Am I so glad this was my experience and NOT some stupid iPad game shinning in my face. (See Tweet for Website used for Daily Create)
