Your child’s playtime is about so much more than giving you 15 minutes to fire off your work emails for the day…

No matter their cultural background, no matter their economic situation, kids will always find imaginative ways to have fun. Their wild imaginations and magical childhood moments, when captured on camera by talented photographers, can make for truly wonderful photos. For better or worse, the children in these photos seem entirely content making their own fun.

First of all, thank you Allison for asking me to post on Pre-Toddler Activities. I thoroughly enjoy All For The Boys and look forward to more days of experiments, fort building, and LAUGH's as my son grows up.
