Description
The small world consists of basic needs: drinking, eating, sleeping, warmth, security...
Everything happens when growing for the first time. Curiously exploring the environment and constantly learning new things. Talking. Walking. Expanding the boundaries of the environment. Experiencing your own self, experiencing others. Learn the first rules of being human in a community.
Go back to this time step by step.
On this stage, you can be a child again and go about your day without a care in the world.
