Imagination ~ Pass It On

Imagination ~ 1. The act, process, or power of forming a mental picture of something not present and especially of something one has not known or experienced
                       2.  Creative ability
                       3.  A creation of the mind

I remember as a child saying to my mum "I'm bored" or "There's nothing to do" and she would say to me "Use your imagination".  Using my imagination was always fun because in my imagination I became a magician, cowgirl, construction worker, astronaut, trapeze artist, princess, doctor, and a rock star.

When I was about nine years old I  put on a magic show in the living room. My stage was a sheet tacked on the archway between the living room and dining room. I did not have a magician costume so one had to be improvised for my performance, a winter stocking cap for a magician hat, a sheet for a cape, and rolled up foil shaped into a wand. The "magic" tricks I did were not that great like pulling my mum's scarves out of my sleeve, pulling a stuffed animal out of my magician hat, a card trick, and making myself disappear which was achieved by turning off a light. The audience loved my show not because my magic tricks were awesome, but they loved them because I was being myself using my imagination.

I remember becoming a cowgirl when I would play with my toy horses. When I would ride my bike and I'd be flying down a hill at top speed I would become an astronaut on my way to the moon or climbing a tree and hanging upside down from the branches I would pretend I was in the circus.  Friends and I would become princesses when we played dress up. Sometimes I was a construction worker building towers or houses with my wood logs or Legos. I also became a rock star when I sang songs like Bette Davis Eyes, Mickey, I Love Rock and Roll, and my all time favorite Soul Man by the Blues Brothers.

Though I did not grow up to be any of these I learned how to use my imagination and sometimes turn what I imagine into reality. Imagination is what my husband and I want to pass on to children through our handcrafted building blocks and games. We encourage parents to foster their child's imagination rather than hinder it. When children build what they see in their mind they have accomplished something wonderful and that something wonderful is turning an idea into reality.
