Wordless Wednesday...Pure Imagination

 

Imagination and invention go hand in hand. Remember how lack of resources was never a problem in childhood games? Shift a few pieces of furniture around the living room, and you have yourself a fort. Alexandra Adornetto



Where would we be without imagination?  Think of the remarkable works of art, inventions, plays, music, medical advances that may never have come to fruition had it not been for the wonderful world of imagination.

My mini-me went to Disney on Ice dressed as Elsa from Frozen.  She asked her mom to take a pic of her in the shower like she was Elsa all frozen. I did some iPhone app enhancing and she loved it. 

 

And it all begins in childhood. It is why we have playtime. It is why we give children blocks and let them make what they will of them. 

 

If you have children in your life, it’s important to support their creativity. Give a child a box and who knows what it will become...a castle, a plane, whatever their imagination wants!

 

I still find it quite easy to find my way into a child's imagination. We're all Peter Pan ourselves in some respects. Everybody should keep some grip on childhood, even as a grownup. Tim Curry

I love this so much. So many times as grown-ups we forget to just imagine and play.

There is an Albert Einstein quote that reads, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Donald Urschalitz I've always said that the day I don't enjoy Disneyworld is the day I don't want to be around. 

Wayne Martin I'm concerned that because of all of the video games our young people will be lacking in imagination.

I agree Gwen Fowler-CRS- 864-638-3599 SC Mountains & Lakes-- what ever happened to just playing??

Thanks Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543  We all need to let our childhood imagination come out once in a while.

Myrl Jeffcoat you can have knowledge in the world but imagination helps you decide what to do with it.

Hi Kathy,  Thanks for the great post.  I'm not sure where any of us would be without imagination.  It's what fuels our drive and productivity.

Kathy loved your post and "immagination" has always been important, without it we would not have went to the Moon just as an example:) Endre

Well you know how much I can relate to this. I love the imagination of my grands and I love playing along with them on their adventures.

The picture is prescious!
