My mom volunteers multiple times a week at Hospice. One week when visiting some clients at a nursing home, they all gathered in the living room for some fun with instruments and music. As my mom stood there tapping her foot to the music, she watched as the residents had the times of their lives. They smacked those bongos with their hands, clashed those symbols together, and shook those tambourines with all their might. A scene similar to something you would see in a kindergarten music classroom. So, are we ever too old for these sort of activities? Are we ever to old to get creative and have fun? Absolutely not! Just like children are never too young! They are never too young to get creative and have fun!
This image below was painted by nine month old McKenna. Nine months old, and already showing that she's not too young!!!
What are some ways you can bring out that creativity and fun in the young children in your lives?
I agree, never too young to be creative.
ReplyDeleteVery good piont! I'm actually seeing similarities in children and elders myself lately. I like the way you presented that idea though.
