Old Photos of Children Playing

Childhood has almost always been an innocent time of exploration, adventure, and imagination. Though I sometimes wonder if today's kids are missing out on all the great fun we used to have when we were young. Because they have so many amazing toys, cellphones, and video games, perhaps they actually are less good at making their own fun.
 
Take a look at these rare photos of adorable youngsters enjoying themselves, and share them with your friends to remind the world how important the simple things in life are.
