On my way to school today I saw a grown man bend, make a snowball and playfully throw it at his friend. This started me thinking about play in our lives. Why I wonder is it acceptable to call what children do as they run around play, and what most adults do everyday serious business. I feel like if we looked at our actions a little looser we would see just how much we play....even though we play so seriously.
Play:
engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose:
Even though we take our actions very seriously if we look at them more closely it becomes apparent that their importance is a figment of the imagination.
Todays design borrows from children's blocks that have numbers and letters on them. I chose this design because within those blocks resides the opportunity for both play and the ever serious learning.
