The video of my imaginative story, iwrote when i visited the place. I often go there but i never saw that place the way i saw today. I was lost in imagination of talking to the place, the hill, the tress, the birds, the water. Tress were dancing and the leaves were rattling, birds were chirping, the frogs were crocking, the sound of the dog bark, the bushes came alive, i was talking to the place.

I visited a small grassy area near my house, as i entered the place and sat on the bench i heard the breeze blowing from all the sides of my body. The tress were dancing in the breeze and leaves were rattling making a music to my ears. The birds were chirping and the frogs were crocking, it felt like they were working together to make a sweet melody.

The place reminded me how children use their imagination to make up the stories and enjoy playing in the outdoor environment. After reading the Article "Let's Play Outside-The importance of pretend play in Natural settings" and "The Imaginary friends and children" by raising children network, made me think of the imaginary story i thought and i wrote on the place i like to visit often alone or with my children. My children gave me an idea of the imaginative sword, as one day my son was pretending the stick to be a sword to cast the spells. I felt calm, creative and joyful. It made me think of my childhood of unstructured play environment.

Who lives in the cracks?

Thats the question i asked myself when i first that pole. "The Parallaxis: a game of walking between worlds" reading made me see the world in completely different and creative way.

Connection to the reading

This is a picture of my children climbing a tree we explored during our walk one day. When I did my learning from the reading "Nature Play" by Ruth Wilson, it reminded me of this picture i clicked while exploring the nature.

He said in his reading "The natural environment is an ideal place for children to engage in creative play, as nature has lot to offer in terms of play potential. Nture is unpredictable, real, and sensory rich. In nature there's always something to explore and discover." Children learn their best when they are outdoors. They use all their senses, they look, they listen, they explore and touch the earth to dig their gold, they smell the flowers, and in some cases they taste the herbs from their outdoor gardens. They are curious learners and want to explore their environments.
