Floor Games; a companion volume to "Little Wars"

"Floor Games; a companion volume to 'Little Wars'" by H. G. Wells is a whimsical manual that invites readers into the imaginative realm of children's play from the early 1900s. It serves as an invitation to the wonders of indoor games, particularly how toys can spark creativity in children. Through warm stories and fun drawings, Wells chats about different kinds of games made using things you can find around the house. In this book, Wells tells us about playing make-believe with his sons, using toys, cardboard pieces, and blocks. He tells of making incredible worlds out of floor games, like building awesome cities, islands, castles, and even creating pretend war games. The story shows us how important imagination and teamwork are when playing, as it shares different games like "Game of the Wonderful Islands," where the floor becomes a sea and each kid gets to be part of a big adventure story. Throughout the book, Wells links play to big ideas about growing up, imagining new things, and helping kids be creative, pushing parents to help their children's creativity.
