The children in Kenya amaze me! Not only are they just adorably cute, they use their ingenuity to create all kinds of fun! I guess that is what happens when you have no toys. You make you own!
We saw homemade trucks and cars similar to these everywhere. The young boys use sticks and twine to make amazingly steerable vehicles. They are so proud of them.
This picture is a bit hard to see. The neighborhood boys made a high jump using a strong, tall weed to hold a stick as a cross bar . They spent hours running and jumping. Most amazing of all was to see them jump with baby brother or sister tied to their backs
Don't have a ball, no problem! Just get some things out of the trash and make your own.
A few pieces of styrofoam provided hours of entertainment as a drum set.
No need for plastic play food when you can use the seeds from the papaya. I'm not sure if they were playing 'store' or 'house' but they were watching this baby as they played.....yes, these two were babysitting!
This boy worked on his tire for a long time. I never figured out what he was planning to do with it but he obviously had something in mind.
And if you can't find anything else to play with, how about a plastic bottle and good old dirt!
