PLAY AND THE ACT OF PLAY
Remember when we were kids, we would be building fortress or houses made of stacked pillow cushions, we would pick up a wooden stick or tree branch pretending to start shooting the enemies in a battlefield? We turned empty water bottles or chopstick into drums or drumstick, and we would proudly be riding our horses made from the pillow cushions. You need only a piece of towel or clothe as a cape, you are now a Superman or Batman. Any found items or daily objects around us are turned into toys or repurposed and rethinking into objects of play. The possibilities of ideas in making or creating a play is limitless; quite literally.
Task
To design a toy or an object of play. Body parts and movements are synonymous with toys as they are the enablers for the play or the act of play to take place. Different body parts and movements respond differently to a toy when performing a play or the act of play. You will be assigned A BODY PART as your main focus in designing the toy. Your task is to design a toy based on the body part assigned to you.
My assigned body part is Head.

REFLECTION
This was the final CCTS project, and it asked us to construct a toy solely out of recycled and discovered materials. To be honest, I'm not the type of person that enjoys doing things on my own, therefore this task will be difficult for me. However, I have enjoyed playing board games since I was a child, so I decided to create one since it is simple to play and ideal for people of all ages. But because my designated bodily part is the head, I've been thinking about it for a few days. Finally, a comedy show gave me an idea. I'm experiencing a lot of problems with this homework. I was surprised in some ways since I finished my homework on time.
