Recently, a nice video was shown on the screen, and a 70-year-old grandfather himself made pictures of toys for his 4-year-old grandson, touching millions of friends. There is no fine packaging, there is no loud light effect, a pile of old wood, spare parts, in the hands of the elderly, and it becomes a unique toy。
The grandfather had many years of manual experience and offered to look after young grandchildren. The parents are busy and have limited time to accompany them. All kinds of plastic toys are visible in the mall, at varying prices, but grandpa slowly found that the freshness of waterlined toys is very short-lived, and that children often play in the corner for two or three days, thinking about electronics. Looking at the 4-year-old grandson, the elderly decided to pick up the crafts that they had put on hold for years and build their toys。
The collection of abandoned wood in the home, the play of old toy parts for children, the wearing of old mirrors, sawing, cutting, grinding and assembly are taken seriously in every process. In order to prevent the scratching of the child's tender hands, all the angles are sharpened repeatedly into round radians. At the time of the production, the grandsons were always standing by with small benches, handing over tools from time to time, healing countless netizens with an old, quiet, collaborative image. One piece of the mantis car, the crab car, the fun-packing doll, and the granddad's toy, which he made, always brings out the envy of his partner。
Children's parents filmed their grandfather's everyday toys and posted them on the internet. In the face of sudden attention, the elderly are quite modest. He did not know anything about traffic, but simply said, "the child likes it, and i'm free to do something to make him happy." the simplest word, the deepest love of my generation。
In the moment of material wealth, we can buy a variety of toys by moving our fingers, but few people are willing to spend a lot of time making a gift for their children. The toys that are bought are available everywhere, and the patience and love that are contained in the hand-held crop is not replicable. The goods produced in bulk are priced only, while grandpa's wooden toys hide the only warmth。
A lot of internet users watched the video and were reminded of the small objects they had produced by their elders. The small handy toys, they grow up with clear memories. Material can be old, damaged, but the warmth brought by company will remain in the memory of childhood. Grandpa not only made toys for his grandchildren, but also told them by his actions that happiness can be created with both hands, and not only by consumption。
Many families are now used to making up for the absence of companionship with material means, while neglecting the real desire of their children for time and patience. The best childhood gifts have never been expensive commodities, but there are those who are willing to bring love into thin daily pieces。
My grandfather's hair was white, and my work carried a long love. May every child have such a warm childhood, and may we cherish the elders who have given so quietly. When you were a kid, did you get toys made by elders? Welcome to the comment section。
