TOY

Tinkering with red and green bricks
Older than legos, redoubtable fun
Yesteryear’s rudimentary dream house

Oh how much the kids miss out on…using their own mind and imagination. There is an upside with learning! Hugs

Old, wooden blocks were better for the environment. I enjoy the memory quality in your poem.

The memory euphoric. I remember the windows and doors too. We didn’t have the internet but only our own imagination, collaborations with parents and peers. Hugs ~ Kim
