The Creative Mind of the Child...

When I was watching the Backyardigans (previously mentioned here) with Calanit, I was reminded of a comment by a friend of ours, Sara, the other day.

I had picked up Calanit after a playdate with her daughter. Sara remarked how fascinating it is to see what kids think up as they play together.

The premise of the Backyardigans is five friends who gather togehter in the backyard (surprise) and imagine up adventures of all sorts, ranging from the Arctic to the Amazon to the Wild West. It's a very clever show.

What's neat is how Calanit (and her friends presumably) have the same type of vivid imagination, organizing a playroom into a "store," or going on a "trip" using only a cardboard box.

Such a beautiful thing to behold.
