NAME:

to play is to participate

Nowadays, television insistently advertises incredible toys: sophisticated, colorful, self-sufficient, noisy and expensive. A temptation for any child.
But, with the same intensity with which they attract the child, they are left aside after being manipulated, at most, for a week. Is that most of them do not need the child's collaboration. It only needs to press a button and see the wonderful machine work by itself. It's all planned and right, like a television show. There's only one defect: it gets tired.

On the other hand, who explains to us the magic of old toys and games that survived our great-grandparents, grandparents, parents and still fascinating?
What fairy or elf invented the top, the kite, the marbles, the hopscotch game, the tug-of-war, the loose-knee, the bilboque, the cubes to assemble and invent, the clay to model things and dirty children, the wheel play, the hide and seek?
Who discovered these games that never get sick? Was it television? Was it the engineers at the toy factories? Do not. It was the children themselves through the centuries. A heritage that must be passed on to future children. After all, playing is always necessary...
