I love these pictures which capture the simplicity of toys. The little boy in the doorway has a wall socket with a wire dangling from it. He was carrying it around, making up his own use for it. Who knows where he got it, as most homes in the bateys don't have electricity. The little girls hanging from a tree branch was so cute. She used the branch as a swing and was laughing most of the time she swung back and forth. It was a matter of time before the branch broke and when it did she laughed all the more. The little guy with the can drums was amazing. He was cranking out the beat with his sticks and entertaining everyone. His nickname is "el pastor".
The girls jumping "Chinese Jump Rope" as I call it, where having a blast. The stretched the rope between their waists, much higher than the ankles, the way I taught it in elem. P.E. They seem to make the jumps; great athleticism.
Again I was struck by the simplicity of the things that kids use to have fun.
