Celebrating Childhood Memories and TV Trays
We recently watched The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh . I had kind of forgotten about Winnie the Pooh, but the minute I put it on for my kids and the opening music sequences started, it brought me right back to a lot of childhood memories.

I remember watching it on The Wonderful World of Disney. It was such a huge treat because it was the one time we actually got to eat in front of the TV on tv trays. It brought me right back to sitting on the green velvet chairs,eating a TV dinner with a bottle of soda with a straw in it! It was such an amazing family experience. Even though a lot of the movies today are fast-moving and flashier,and TV is much more on-demand, Winnie the Pooh has timeless messages about friendship and sticking together to get through things. My kids will never know the pain of having to wait for something to come on, or the heart ache if you missed it and had to wait for it to come on again…next year!
My kids were so cute watching it! They laughed when Pooh’s bottom was stuck in Rabbit’s”door” and then drew a face on it. My little one said with a very serious face “it was very inappropriate for Rabbit to do that.”
My oldest child was funny too, because she laughed even though she said the movie was too young for her when it first started. Then she asked if Christopher Robin would be like 70 now. She’s a clever one.
I just love how even though Eeyore isn’t the happiest guy (my kids did ask why, and I told them because he needs to look at the blessings in life), Â everyone still rallies around him no matter what. It proves you don’t have to be perfect to have your friends or family still love you.

I know I grew up in a neighborhood where all of the kids hung out together. It felt so freeing to be able to head off on my bike all day long and just play. We would climb dirt hills, play running bases in the middle of the street, and get crazy with flashlight tag past when the street lights came on. That is the childhood experience I want for my kids. That childhood memories are the ones you’ll have forever.

My son has a learning disability and school can be really tough for him. But his elaborate imagination and singing about it makes me feel hopeful that all is not bad in his little world! 🙂
Hope I’ve gotten to the right spot to post a comment for the sweepstakes.. I couldn’t find anywhere else? Would love to win … what a wonderful prize. And, I LOVE Eeyore… My favorite…
When my grandchildren visit, one will always ask ,” can we watch the Pooh video”. It is a VCR tape so just imagine how old. I truly need a new one just to see the look on their sweet faces when their Grand plays the New Pooh. Sweet post.
what a great classic movie that continues to entertain…
Winnie the Pooh is a family favorite! My son love the original books, and my nephew loved the movies and cartoons, calling my mom Tigger and my dad Eeyore. You can’t even imagine how well those names fit, and he was barely old enough to utter words! 🙂
It is important to learn necessary skills for a happy and rewarding life.

Audrey (my 21 month old), absolutely LOVES Winnie The Pooh! Ever since she was an infant, anything to do with Pooh has been her favorite. Her first birthday was even Pooh themed!

Imagination, friendships, and a sense of adventure can open up the whole world to children. I try to nurture them and allow them to follow the beat of their own drums.

Every kid needs a buddy. Someone to learn and play with. When I think back on my own childhood most of my memories involve my best girl friends. I know my son will have similar memories as he grows with his friends.

They are all character building traits and therefore very important.
Friendship is important to have support in life and people to share the happy moments with and building relationships is important for careers. As for imagination? What would a grand adventure be without one? All are very important tools for a child to grow and prosper! 🙂

I love Winne the Pooh. I have the book, “the World of Pooh” that my sister and I read when little.
Adventure brings new experiences and learning to children.
I think it’s very important, when your young, friendships come and go, if your lucky, you’ll still have a few of those connections as lifelong friends!!! Life without adventure would almost have no meaning, especially for a child!

Kids need to experience all this to grow and become who they will be. It also helps with social skills, independence, and confidence.

Our older son is recently learning the value of friendship and its wonderful to see his development, he has a huge imagination and we try to enhance it at every opportunity. My two year old is the one with all the sense of adventure!

Friendship, adventure, and imagination are all important aspects in a children’s life. They grow emotionally and mentally and it let’s them be who they are and discover themselves. It gives them skills they will need in their adult lives. I love sitting and just watching my kids use their imaginations!

Friendship is very improtant in any childs life, i try to get my son to build as many friendships early in life as possible to help teach him how to share and give him a sense of loyalty. Adventure and imagination are also soo so important to my young son, these charactoristics play big roles in anything a child does and wants to grow up to be, imagination allows him to pretend to be anything he wants and adventure lets him think of things he can do that help him imagine what he wants to be.

Friendship, imagination and adventure are important for my children because they get to develop social skills
Friendship, imagination and adventure is important in my child’s life because we all know that as we get older the days go faster & the nights get shorter. Those memories will be a comfort to her when she’s all grown up & imagination & adventure seem nowhere in sight.
Imagination has been studied in children and it has shown that the more imaginative a child is in his/her youth the better chance s/he has for developing positive coping, social, and problem solving skills.
