Bubble Wrap
In one of the generous and amazing packages I received while at site, bubble wrap was included. I remembered how much I used to and still do enjoy popping the small pockets of air. I brought the plastic sheets out into the compound hoping the kids would discover the same satisfaction of hearing and feeling the clicks underneath the weight of your feet. They were wary at first. The concept of mail is unfamiliar to the children so I had a hard time explaining the purpose of bubble wrap. But once I demonstrated how to pop the bubbles, they quickly laid the plastic sheets on the dirt and began jumping and dancing on them. Once deflated, they used the plastic sheets as head and waist wraps displaying their new items around the village. They definitely enjoyed their bubble wrap experience and I had a great time watching them play with this new and strange thing.

Somehow I knew that bubble wrap would be universally popular!! Breaking all cultural barriers. Maybe the UN should start playing with environmentally friendly bubble wrap made from plants at the start of every session. The world might be a better place.
ReplyDeleteI agree! :) As a child, bubble wrap can be quite enjoyable. And once you get older, its just air bubbles. -__-
ReplyDeleteEllo again Fern :),
ReplyDeleteThis blog brought back many memories of a younger me and my mother or father bringing me bubble wrap when I asked. I'm glad they found it fun just as much as children in the U.S LoL although if I tried that now I would probably end up popping them all at once due to my huge feet:-p
