Aloha Sprinklerinos,
It's been almost a year since I last did a 'Loves of Late' and to be quite honest, I'd forgotten all about it! The other day I saw the post and decided I'd like to work it back into my blog but hadn't found the right thing to go with it.
Well, now I have.
I was speaking to my friend Marie on Skype a few days ago and she sent me a link to a video she thought I'd like. Oh my was she right! I LOVED IT.
I feel like this video is a perfect reminder of a child's perfect imagination. Fun, inventive and untarnished by the restraints of adulthood.
It had really inspired me to encourage Darcy to explore her ideas and creativity.
Other things I have been loving lately are lazy nights on the patio with drinks and friends (staying in is the new going out dontchya know), little walks to the corner shop with Darcy to choose treats, planning new ways to spruce up the living room (thank you Pinterest) and baked sweet potatoes- yum!

Did you like this video? Did you do fun things like this as a child?
Toodlepip!

I absolutely loved this video... So inspiring! My favorite part was the using the calculators as a security measure! This shows just how much you can achieve if you set your mind to something, and never give up. Thanks so much for sharing this!

I loved that video! I remember as a child back in the day * ahem* long ago, we'd play shop in the front garden, making tasty treats out of leaves and flowers from the poor neighbours' gardens. We never ate them of course but it was great making pretend sandwiches and using our imaginations which is all we had really. This was before computers were invented and the Atari tennis game was very hi-falooting!
ReplyDeleteSo build a fort, have pretend tea parties, play hopscotch and hide and seek and enjoy the summer!
How lovely! Children really do have the best imaginations and most determination to achieve their dreams. :)

Awesome! Being a not very creating person I'm definitely going to try a bit harder to be a little more imaginative. P.s. It makes me super happy when you write about liking to stay in because although I like going out, a lot of the time I'd much rather be sat with a hot chocolate watching a movie! www.thegirlinthemoonlight.blogspot.co.uk
ReplyDeleteLove this video!

Such a wonderful video! In my childhood here in Bavaria near the Alps in Germany we did so many funny things, too, we had always great ideas and plans. It was an idyllic world where we have grown up and we spent our time with own theater performances and long and special plays like a bike bell cover taking over the street ...

I totally remember seeing this on the news when it first came out! I was extremely inspired by it and hope that little boy will grow up to become a successful engineer or something someday. I would love to go see his arcade- I wonder if he still has it! :)

ReplyDeleteBrilliant I didn't really have much imagination with toys apparently but I was really creative I was always putting on the latest show for my family using the kitchen as my pretend dressing room I also set up an animal centre in my play shed where I use to get the other children off the street to come and learn about animals it even had a tank which I put in animals I found from the garden I once had a pregnant wood lice and watched it have lots of babies then got told off by my dad for been cruel :(

He is brilliant! He has business savvy, is a hard worker, and is dedicated. He made his imaginations into a reality and created his own arcade. God bless that kid :) Thanks for the video.

I love his tricks with the calculator to generate numbers too.

ReplyDeleteAww this is amazing! Haha my sisters and I used to make shop counters and phone box's out of cardboard! But it was definitely not as incredible as this! :) x
ReplyDeletePs. I love your blog and YouTube channel!

ReplyDeleteThat video was fab! I think one of the best feelings in life is when you remember how amazing it was to be a child and have that freedom of imagination! So glad you shared this video, thank you! :) x
ReplyDeleteAww this is so sweet, I used to love doing things like this when I was younger. Me and my best friends would always go into our local woods and make dens from the tree branches and pretend we were red indians hahaa <3 Wish I could be that young again <3 <3
ReplyDeleteThe video was so sweet and cute! I loved it!! And I agree that staying in is the new going out. As much as I love partying, there is something unique and calming about staying at home, with friends or family.

Lovely video. It reminds me a bit of myself as a young girl. I would hide out in the woods for hours and pretend the fallen down trees were a playground. I would pack a lunch and climb them until it got dark out. This video is a favorite now! Such a cute boy. :)

I saw this video on Russell Howard's good News last year, its the best thing ever! When I was little me, my mum and my brother made a puppet show theater out of a cardboard box from a toy kitchen and I made puppets out of socks haha
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I remember making little puppets out of wooden spoons and tissue paper and pipe cleaners with my sister! Love the video.

Oh Louise that video brought a little tear to my eye! So amazing! To see young children have dreams and work hard for something like that is fantastic! Not sat inside but trying to interact with people and using his imagination - true childhood! We always tried to sell rose perfume (rose petals in water) and lots of different things on a shop on our road! Haha.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte xxx Something Special To Say
I saw this before on Russel Howards Good News as part of the 'Its not all doom and gloom section'. Really is a massive inspiration
ReplyDeleteI found out about Cain's arcade when it first went viral -- about a year ago. I live in LA, so my boyfriend and I went to an event at the arcade and met Cain, as well as the film maker, who was absolutely lovely. I hope Cain is able to continue his success. Such a great mind! And so touching.
