"They were all very busy in the playroom, surrounded by a world of imagination and joy. Ponies galloped freely, their vibrant colors bringing life to the room. A mama lioness and her cubs played together, teaching valuable lessons of love and unity. The tribal elephant stood proudly, representing strength and wisdom. Beside it, a pastel elephant added a touch of softness to the scene. Amidst the lively atmosphere, a mischievous pastel monkey swung from branch to branch, spreading laughter among the children. Even on board the majestic RMS Queen Mary, children found solace in their playful haven - the Children's Playroom. In St Leonards-on-Sea Convalescent Home for Poor Children, giraffes roamed freely as little ones embraced their nurturing nature as 'little mothers. ' Inspired by Miss Emily Lees' teachings in 1888. A moment frozen in time revealed a boy sticking out his tongue mischievously while playing house with Josephine; an illustration that captured pure childhood spirit. Dorothy mesmerized her friends with enchanting stories within those walls; tales that transported them to magical realms beyond their wildest dreams. Through history's canvas emerged scenes of children engrossed in innocent pastimes - painting pictures or playing games together under golden sunlight. "
