Now is the time alot of us are we gearing up for the Christmas holidays, looking forward to spending time and celebrating with friends and family. But in our modern world there can be a tendency for waves of adverts, plastic and over stimulation.
Last month I installed a super simple small play area made from recycled car tyres at a local school and I received some feedback from the children. It is a little reminder that there is value and joy to be found in keeping it simple and reusing.

When I was sent a photo of a drawing that one of the classes created to say thank you for the new addition to their play areas, I felt uplifted to see the children express their gratitude and appreciation. It really made my day! Every time I see the drawing it has me smiling. It was just five tyres, half buried in the ground, but for the children it was an opportunity to jump into the world of imagination, fantasy and play, where possibilities are endless.
It gives me hope and inspiration to see the adults of the future creating, having so much fun and expressing gratitude. Working with the next generation and helping them fall in love with nature is something that we are excited to develop further. I guess the take away from this is that keeping it simple and using our imagination can be greatly rewarding. For, me with the holidays coming up, it is something I will be keeping in mind.
