A playground for toddlers, young adults, or even adults who wish to bring back their imagination

Playground is a place where we build our imaginary friendships, where we create a world that is ours, made from our thoughts and imagination. As we grow older, and as we are introduced to the responsibilities of this life we fade away from our imagination. Even the education system teaches us to think realistic but not how to connect it with our imagination, therefor we forget, or we bury those ideas at the deepest hollows.

I believe in an education where students are taught how to keep their imagination, creativity alive and learn how to connect them with their other subject areas. A mathematical question for example; is a problem and it has more then one solution. Having an open mind to diversity would help a student to come up with these multiple solutions.

I also believe that creativity is another language that helps us expressing our selves. It is a tool that with enough experience would let us use it for many more.

What I would like to achieve is for young students to keep that connection between creativity, imagination, and reality alive and for those who might have lost it to bring it back through manipulation of different materials and subject matter that are relevant to their personal lives.

Hope you have a place that you can get in touch with your inner child and find a way to bring that imagination back to your daily lives. If not maybe I can help you...
