During my childhood, we – my siblings and I – used to make our own toys… with the help of our parents :D I thought that nowadays kids have more choices on toys and that they do not need to create anymore. Today, watching my photo archives, I noticed that, in fact, there are many children here in Madagascar who still manage to make their own toys with what’s available. Most of these kids are from poor families or living in the countryside. No matter, if they do not have a game boy, a Play Station, a nice collection of cars, they are proud of their homemade toys. I had the chance to be among them to still remember their shouts of joy, their smiling faces while playing. Enjoy the pics ;)
