True Creativity

Using simple items as a form of entertainment has been a popular theme throughout American culture. Consider one of the most popular toys of all time, the Slinky. What more is a Slinky than a giant spring? Despite it’s outstanding simplicity, we still use it as a source of entertainment today.

There is one item that’s entertainment value is often unacknowledged; the paper bag. Children in our country now have pre-made puppets to play with, but where’s the fun in that? Sure they get to play out a scene and might have fun doing that, but how much greater is it to create something on your own and see it come to life. If you give a kid a box of crayons and a simple brown paper bag, they can make anything come to life right before their eyes.
