THE MAGIC OF CHILDREN'S PLAY!'
" There are two essential partners in creativity. I call them whimsy and logic. Whimsy is daydreaming... flights of the imagination... out of control thinking... magical thinking... intuitive, impulsive, fanciful thinking. Most early learners are naturally whimsical".
Dave Brown (Patch Theatre Co.)
“There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colours are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again.”
Elizabeth Lawrence.
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
Pablo Picasso
