Pretend Play and Magical Thinking

Before we had airplanes and astronauts, we really thought that there was an actual place beyond the clouds, somewhere over the rainbow. There was an actual place, and we could go above the clouds and find it.there. - Barbara Walters

Above the clouds

The picture above is one I took in 2010 on my way to florida, it is one of my favourite pictures because you are able to really see the clouds and their texture and shapes.  That is one of the reasons why I love flying is because you get to go above the clouds and see them in a different way.  Looking up at the clouds is something that when I was younger I use to do on long car rides and just for fun, and now a days I find myself looking at them wondering what else there is out there, and looking to see if I can see different shapes.  Clouds come in all different shapes and sizes that is what makes them fun to look at because no cloud will look the same.

All about my clouds!


Well first off let me introduce myself, my name is Cadee Comfy Cloud! I'm just what my name say I'm COMFY! Everyone I met wants to take a nap on me! It sometimes it bugs me however I still let them because my personality is very warm and kind, however if you catch me during a thunderstorm you may not recognize me because I'll be very angry. You may all think that I taste like cotton candy, however that is not true! I don't taste like anything! I really do however enjoy just day dreaming about who I may marry and what kind of cloud they will be.  It's really hard to find someone up in the sky they should come out with a cloud dating service!!! I really enjoy reading gossip magazine about the famous clouds up here, there's some pretty crazy drama going on! I must say that as much as I love reading about the drama I really don't like it when it happens to me! Its when I start to cry thats when the people on earth get rain storms because of the drama among the clouds.  Also when it starts to snow on the humans on earth, that is because I'm getting my hair cut! It always looks so stylish!!

For Educators:

This activity allows for children of all ages to just get creative and let their imagination flow.  When it comes to this activity there are no right or wrong ways to go about it! Just let the children be free.  Allow the children to take any regular everyday object and watch them create it into a person.  It could may possibly allow for you to get to know the children more, than you may already! I suggest that you give this a try and you will not be disappointed! Even I had fun!
