We found a new favourite place in Doha - visiting the skate park at the Corniche where our friends just recently showed us where kids (and adults) can have so, so much fun sliding down the concrete bowl. (Yes, we are limited here for free and outdoor play ideas). I delighted in seeing my normally girly girls throwing themselves down this steep concrete incline head first, backwards and linking arms. We have already been three times this week so once we took our ball to introduce a new playful idea and we set up a somewhat successfully game of tunnel ball. I've always found it to be a good idea to introduce a new "prop" to old play ideas to help inspire, stir or extend children in their play. My friend K then discovered the random little kiosk which sells fairy floss and popcorn all day every day also sold irresistible masquerade masks for 10 riyal each (about $2). So we all had to try them on. And we discovered dress ups are fun anywhere, anytime and sparked our imagination and childish delight. K and I ended up with one each for ourselves they were so enticing.
