As we have been out in the villages, kids come from all around to see what is going on as we are working at a well site. Some are just out playing with their toys and "drop by". There are no Gameboys, MP3 players, action figures, or even the old fashioned six-shooters.
The toys we have seen are hand-crafted, using items which we would have discarded in the trash.
This little boy's car was made from an old bottle with water bottle lids as wheels.

A ring from the top of a damaged plastic water bucket and stick is great fun. There is fierce competiton when several get together for a race.
This little guy had a sling shot and actually could shoot a pebble with some accuracy. He couldn't have been more than 3 years old.
It's easy to role play as a driver with a stick and lid from a plastic container. We have even seen something round attached to the top of the sticks that resembles a steering wheel.
Imagination is a wonderful thing.

What a great post! I just love this collection of photos and the descriptions. I'm in love with their creativity and feeling humbled by our excess. Can't wait to show Jonah this!
