Do You See What I See?
Tuesday 27 April 2010
What do you see? A mess of snipped junk mail, or something more?
It’s a pond, silly!
Here, I’ll help you:
Frog, rocks,
lily pads, fish,
dragonfly, reeds.
See?
A whole ecosystem!
(With night time stars reflected in the water…)
When I stop looking with grownup eyes and start looking with toddler eyes this beautiful creation comes to life. It ceases to be a box full of junk mail and becomes the play world my daughter dreamed it to be. Isn’t play a beautiful thing?
Come play at the Childhood 101 We Play link up…
What a lovely pond!

‘It’s a pond, silly!’ I can almost hear Immy saying the same thing, except hers would be, ‘It’s a pond. You’re silly!’
I love Lily’s pond, there is just so much sharing of her knowledge and learning. Thank you for coming to play.

I love it!! Aren’t children just so creative when we let them use their imagination. It’s a pity so many lose it as they get older.
What a fantastic pond
Very creative

How fun! Come next junk mail day a pond may materialise in our lounge room too. Thanks for the idea.
Ah yes! Of course it’s a pond.
And it is beautiful.
THE best use of junk mail. Well done Lily, thank you (and your mum) for helping me have a ‘child look’.

The simplest of things can teach us so much. I remember playing with sticks rocks and mud with my sister and having the best time ever because of the stories we made up as we went.
