Alejandro shared a precious moment of himself on top of a volcano in Nicaragua, one of his Lego figurines, and playing with dinosaurs.

Playing was easy back then: running around in the yard, playing football or the new Zelda game, or just building legos.

Gabi shared some beautiful stories about play: Creating homes and clothes for her dolls, making soup out of my cherry tree's leaves, playing football or hide and seek with her friends, running around like crazy, dancing with her uncle 💃

Moniek shared her memories of playing outdoors a lot, a loving memory of the little shed in the backyard, that he dad once built. Her brother and her would grab a blunt kitchen knife, remove the bark of twigs, and feel all GI Jones.

Read more stories behind these images and a good dose of healthy melancholy in her post.

Jens shared his passion for "playful building" which came as a consequence of him being part of a close-knit community. He designed his own villa for mice: it had a maze, some cozy Christmas lights, and even a couch. It was all fun & games with my 2 mice, Harry and Henry & their babies later on 🐭

It was magical to get a glimpse into other people's childhood, reading their precious memories of days of play, no worry in sight, only possibilities and magic ✨ Thank you, Tim! 💛
