Play time was always a fun activity for my daughters. I encouraged play using their imagination and their physical skills. So, we spent a lot of time at the park where they played on the play equipment.
I also encouraged them to use their own imagination in playing. We had almost no electronic devices—only a PC. However, they had blocks from Lincoln Logs to Legos, where they built towns. They always put the Lego kit together with the instructions, but afterwards the pieces became part of a big bin where their imagination in building could go wild.

I am glad I raised my daughters before so many electronic
devices were available. They did have a few PC programs. One program had them
design amusement parks, and another create ice-skating routines. I felt these
games allowed them to use their imaginations in play.
#52Ancestors-Week 34: Playtime
This is my eighth year working on this year-long prompt, hosted by Amy Johnson Crow (https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/) at Generations Cafe. I write each week in one of my two blogs, either Mam-ma’s Southern Family or My Trails into the Past. I have enjoyed writing about my children’s ancestors in new and exciting ways.
