Skating was my favorite childhood game, the challenge was to coordinate balance, with speed and dance

@Shay! just seen this post on twitter about a comic artist who did all the artwork with wax crayon, then covered each image in black crayon and scraped that layer away, to create the effect he wanted for his book:

Jenny… thanks for sharing! I feel somewhat lucky to have met him in person in the last Scratch Conference… he is amazing and greatly influencing people through these mark ups / scraping layers away and restructuring sentences with the circled words, how innovative!

I can recollect a sentence I captured from one of his talks with Karen Brennan where they mentioned that in contrast to the era of Albert Einstein, where there used to be “Geniuses” - like one scientist genius showing path to millions, nowadays it’s the era of “Sceniuses” where there are a ton of genius scientists all over the world meeting, collaboratively working, sharing materials over the internet and thus evolving as a Scenius rather than being called a Genius…

It looks amazing, and as a music and dance lover I would love to appreciate your efforts and congratulate you for attempting to do it because I tried it and therefore know how hard it is!:slight_smile:

Thank you so much for appreciating the link :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:! The first time I read the book, I was ten years old. And much later, when my sons were very young, I wanted to read it to them - and luckily, they also loved it, so we read it together many times during their childhood. I think the English translation of the book is excellent, and so are the speakers on the video :hugs: .

Salve anch’io giocavao tutti i pomeriggi con questi pattini , si dovevano legare alle scarpe,. Erano anche pesanti. Che bei ricordi! Grazie

Salve, io avevo un fungo di legno che aveva sopra quattro chiodi sporgenti su cui avvolgevo il filo di lana e creavo dei cordoncini. Come nel video: Mots en laine - YouTube

As a child, I loved puzzle games. I liked it very much and I rejoiced when the picture became clear and completed it to the end, it was a challenge to complete it and it makes me happy to win!. I also liked to participate in clubs and participate in intellectual games and rejoiced when I was one of the winners… And at school there were workshops for carpentry and sewing and agriculture, and I I was looking forward to his lessons… When I discovered the Scratch software and I was surprised because it is based on building blocks, and what a nice surprise!, I was inspired to learn more about the Scratch software and created many games.

FRUTILLITA
Me encantaba ver frutillita cuando era pequeña y coleccionar todos sus artículos, consideraba que la enseñanza que entregaba sobre el valor de la amistad era lo máximo!!

Hola, particularmente no tengo un juguete de mi preferencia, recuerdo que jugaba con muchos elementos que encontrabamos en los parques, utilizamos madera, piezas de bicicleta,cajas.
También utilizaba jueguetes convencionales como muñecas, osos de peluche .

Hi everyone, my objects were rocks, stones, dirt, and anything of that nature.


I was always intrigued by their creatures and asked my father information about the rocks that I would find. I did not collect them but I did look at many. I think they helped develop my inquiring mind and passion for learning.

I love puzzle games too, till now! Also, I love to teach the Scratch cat how to play with puzzles and make such project in Scratch) Nice to meet you here) Have a fun time with Scratch and LCL! :heart_eyes_cat: :framed_picture: :jigsaw:

Laura Ingalls Wilder books were also my favorite!

My mom sewed. She made my clothes. She made my doll clothes. She even made me dolls. I would play for hours with dolls. I don’t even remember exactly what that play looked like. I know I had a mess. All. The. Time. Fast forward to my being in school. I loved to read. Realistic fiction was my first genre of choice. As an adult, I worked first in child welfare, helping families in crisis. Later I worked with students as a classroom educator. I have always been a people person and someone who wanted to feel that I was contributing positively to the human experience.

Well, in my childwood I really have fun with blocks, like LEGO, not really that one, because it’s always so expansive. Well I believe this kind of game always make me think how the things works.

Coloquei uma imagem tirada do Google, porque hoje já não possuo mais esse objeto.
Bom, desde que eu me conheço por gente eu desenho e sempre recebi muito apoio da famílias, sempre viram habilidade em mim e me incentivavam a continuar desenhando.
Uma tarde meu vô chegou da cidade e me trouxe esse boneco articulado para me ajudar a desenhar posições corporais e entender melhor a anatomia humana. O fato de ter sido incentivado pelo meu avô, de poder tocar, mexer e articular o boneco me fez explorar tanto o desenho que fiquei mais apaixonado ainda e isso me ajudou a aprender sobre anatomia, aguçou minha visão e percepção de espaço.

Eu tinha uma maleta de blocos de quebra-cabeça roxa da Unesco, mas esvaziei ela para montar minha “maleta de médico” e improvisei diversos recursos para transformar em equipamentos de medicina. Por exemplo, um suspensório velho e uma ventosa de uma flecha de brinquedo quebrada, se transformaram em um estetoscópio. Existiam vários outros recursos que construí. Até os 6 anos, queria ser um médico, até que percebi que gostava mesmo era criar e adaptar coisas para diversos fins. Infelizmente não tenho registro fotográfico da maleta, mas as memórias contribuíram muito para meu desenvolvimento e aprendizagem.
