Kindergarten's "Playground"

I just took a ride over to the kindergarten with Nava (the ulpan house mother).  We had to bring the leftovers from dinner last night to feed the animals that they keep there--rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, chickens.  While we were there she showed me their "playground."  It's not really a playground, more like a play area with stuff in it.  If you (someone from the US who played on jungle gyms and toys from the store) you would think it looked like a junk yard and a really dangerous place for kids, kindergarten age kids, to play.  There's old couches, kitchen appliances, tractors, boxes, pretty much just any old crap you can think of. She said that when something breaks or is too old in her house she brings it there.  The idea is that the kids don't always need toys that they have to play with a certain way.  With all this random junk they can be more imaginative and creative and play however they want.  Nava pointed out a little living room that the kids had made and a pretend farm, when i looked around it looked like there was no order at all, just stuff thrown all over. Maybe i need to work on my imagination...
