Chapter 251 Childhood Toys
I picked it up, weighed it and kicked it a few times, but it still felt that familiar.
When she was a child, she had a fascination with and awe of this kind of shuttlecock - she also knew that it was strange to be in awe of a shuttlecock, but it was true at that time.
Among the children they were playing with, there was an older sister who was particularly good at playing shuttlecock. She even wore flip-flops every time and could do it with bare feet.
She just watched the big shuttlecock move up and down in the air stably, and turn flexibly in circles. The "click, click" sound of the iron plate at the bottom made her feel particularly at ease.
Now, the voice is back again.
What she likes to see most when she is kicking the shuttlecock is that a shuttlecock falls right on the spot, then spins around perfectly after being kicked up, and then lands right on the ground again.
It feels really good to kick the bottom perfectly with your foot!
She kicked around the room happily for a while, but she didn't know if the "newbie protection period" had passed. The more she kicked, the less smooth she was at the beginning.
She thinks it's still a matter of probability. The longer the game lasts, the more mistakes will be made.
After playing for a while, she stopped and continued to look at other shuttlecocks.
In addition to this standard feather shuttlecock, there are also similar feathers, but instead of hard feathers, they are all soft, just like the old-fashioned feather dusters in the past, which were all made of soft and curved feathers.
There is also a shuttlecock tied with nylon rope and silk thread. The base is a hollow metal ring, and the nylon thread is tightly wrapped around it, wrapping the entire metal ring so that the original material is invisible.
The rest of the nylon silk was left outside for a long time, forming a big pile of fluffy shuttlecock.
This thing definitely doesn't weigh much, but it's not that light. It's quite light when kicked. It flaps in the air like a parachute when kicked.
It looks like a wig when you kick it in the head.
She played with these shuttlecocks for a while and found them very interesting.
After playing shuttlecock for a while, she simply went to search for other toys she had played with when she was a child.
Like a hula hoop, she remembered that when she was a child, she played with a thin red plastic hoop, which seemed to have some kind of gravel-like filling inside, and it made a "swishing" sound when it was shaken.
There were also big hula hoops wrapped in sponge, but she was a child at the time, and they were too heavy for her to shake, and they would fall after a few turns.
She remembered that when she was a child, she especially liked to play with a kind of ribbon, like the kind of ribbon used in rhythmic gymnastics. It was long and could be waved into circles or waves.
She remembered that she bought the one she had from a temple fair during the New Year. It seemed that the seller was demonstrating it in person. She found it so interesting and was completely attracted to it.
Holding a small stick in your hand, you can easily lead the ribbon around to create a shape. The ribbon, which is originally a gradient color, feels more alive when swinging.
In addition, there are some small things, such as colorful translucent bouncy balls, sticky palms that can "bia" to the wall or ceiling, and blowing balls that can blow bubbles and play with them. …
There is also soapy water that can really blow bubbles, which is in a long tube. You have to stretch your arms to take out the bubble blowing rod inside, and bring out some soapy water every time.
There are also games where a few people get together to play, such as catching stones - in fact, the ones used to throw and catch are small sandbags to prevent them from rolling around and not being found.
There were also throwing cards, which were round, hard and thick cards with characters from popular cartoons at the time painted on them. Each person would grab a pile in his hand and see who could knock over whose card.
There are also braided ropes called "glass wire" that are actually plastic wires, translucent solid ropes, colorful, and more advanced ones, with sequins shining in the thin ropes.
She remembered that when she was a child, she usually used this to braid bracelets, or just braided a straight strand and hung it on the zipper of her school bag.
You can also string small beads, small bells, etc. on it and knit it a little. Those who like to play with this can weave a very exquisite bracelet, and even make it into the shape of a small animal.
She couldn't do it anymore. It was too difficult to knit animals and so on. She had long forgotten the knitting technique. She followed the tutorial and tried to make a small bracelet with two colors of string, but she got tired of it after knitting a short section.
She put it aside and waited until she remembered it one day before continuing.
Similar to this kind of handicraft, there are two kinds of things that children like to play with. One is a small square piece of paper, a pile like a small brick, used to fold paper cranes - it can also fold other things, but paper cranes are not good at making paper cranes. Children are more popular.
There are also long and thin strips of paper in various colors and patterns, specially used to stack stars.
When I was a kid, it was popular to fold these gadgets and put them in big glass jars, which looked pretty.
She actually felt that, rather than whether they looked good or not, perhaps the greater pleasure was the process of accumulation, from a pitiful few to filling a large jar, which gave her a sense of accomplishment.
When she was a child, she never filled any jars. She just thought folding paper was fun and she was done with it.
Now...she didn't really think about filling the jar as her goal, but she still found a big glass jar and planned to play with it.
When you are bored, you can fold a few paper cranes or pinch a handful of stars. You have to find a place to put the finished things. Why not just throw them into a jar and accumulate them in the meantime.
She had a great time playing one item after another. Now, she saw another piece of plasticine and quickly took it out to play with.
This stuff always had a strange smell, but she didn't think it was unpleasant, just quite special.
Along with the plasticine, there are also some small tools, such as small rollers, which can be rolled out flat; there are also molds of various shapes, some hollow and some filled.
The former can be used to cut out various shapes on a flat piece of plasticine, while the latter is just to stuff the plasticine into it and press it tightly, and patterns will be printed on it.
Another way to play is to "make patterns" with plasticine. When she was a child, she loved to pinch people. White and black plasticine would always be pinched into tiny balls one after another, and then flattened to use as eyes.
Now think about it, does this thing count as slime enlightenment?
Just, they are all things that you can pinch and play with, and sometimes you will mix several kinds together, which are all some kind of small clay...
After playing around, she suddenly felt, should this be something done on Children's Day? Why are you so excited on the Ghost Festival?
In fact, she still wanted to play tumbling rope, but she was unable to do it alone now.
She also knew that there was a trick that one person could do, but now she just missed the feeling of two people taking turns to do it, and the more tricks they did, the more tricks they could do.
...Wait a minute, there is no one, but there are hands, okay?
