The shared experiences here remind me of how my mum used to entertain us without breaking the bank. Good old fashioned fun, as they say! I remember making homemade masks and playing "society" games - good clean fun and loads of laughs! We didn't realize then but these became some of our most cherished memories!
The simpler times indeed yield the best memories. Making paper masks sound like such a simple yet entertaining activity! What other childhood memories do you recall that parents could easily recreate with their kids today?
As I recall, we also enjoyed making origami shapes and then turning them into little games or playful characters. My mum would always find some creative way to upcycle household items as materials for our crafts. I distinctly remember using colourful buttons, stray threads, and even egg cartons!

It's heartwarming to witness kids appreciate simple pleasures because they're indeed grateful for them, especially in this age of commercialization. They remind us that experiences like these create lasting memories.
I loved hearing about everyone's simple but fun childhood activities! It seems like making the most out of everyday items was a common theme back then.
