Fantastique créativité de ces enfants: un vaste pied de nez aux sociétés du gaspillage!

Wonderful photos of how these children show the creative aspect of their toy and play culture. A similar creativity in toy making is found in Moroccan children's play as can be seen on the Facebook page Toys created by Children - Jouets créés par des enfants http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=63858074562&ref=ts)
