the sun was shining
the ground was damp
the leaves are still crunchy
we had perfect weather for building small things
it was warm enough - or not cold enough
to enjoy sitting and making
with -
clay
gumnuts
acorns
sand
and sticks
parents
children
and
artists
creating together
pita-pata
the results...
heart warming
we learnt a lot too...
on any given day
some kids
are happy to sit with the detail
create small things
chat with their parents
and make side by side
some kids
want to run
play with their old friends
and new friends
make up their own games
on any other day
it might be the same
it might be different
sometimes it's about age
sometimes it's about gender
sometimes it's just that day
sometimes it's a mystery
on this particular day
it was a group of four year olds boys
they wanted to run
they had fun
maybe we need
big worlds
and
small worlds
something to think about...
looking forward to the next gathering
Friday 1st June 2012
10.00-12.00
small worlds
is a pita-pata gathering
in autumn
in the natural playscape
at the creswick neighbourhood centre
lead artists
