Are there childish or childlike activities that you still enjoy?

I collect plush toys/stufffed animals and can’t sleep without one. I collect Hello Kitty anything. I enjoy animated movies almost more than I do live action.

At age 65, I still:

Kiss the author's picture after finishing a wonderful book.

Do an silly Happy Dance when delighted. This makes people laugh.

Hug trees, especially majestic, old-growth giants.

Crush cedar tree needles and rapturously smell them.

Take a nap when tired.

Read while eating, a terrible habit. At age 8, my daughter gave me a book weight to hold books open on a table. I'd been caught. Sit down, and I look around for something to read.

As a kid, I thought the milk carton said "Damn Fresh." "That's awfully bold of them," I thought. I needed glasses. It said "Dawn Fresh."

Greatly enjoy animated movies (collection has over 100 disks of animation). When I was very young I was into speakers and amplifiers. I am still upgrading the home theater sound system.

Most of my hobbies have roots in childhood activities of mine but arent inherently childlike. When I was little Id peck around on a keyboard, play drums on pots n pans, wittle sticks, build lego and erector sets, and play ninja turtles with foam nunchucks or a mop handle.

Now I play a full sized electric piano, real drums, work out with rattan bo staff, hardwood nunchaku, build and repair electronics, make wood carvings. I just do the real versions of all the fake things I used to pretend with, because Im a grown ass man and if I want to give my hands arthritis and nearly take my head off with real weapons, by god I will ?

I guess video games and drawing are the things that have changed the least but those arent necessarily childlike pursuits these days either. When I really wanna feel like a kid again I watch old nick at night shows with a big bowl of reese puffs.

As long as your hobbies don't harm others why worry about it?
Follow your bliss.

Being childlike at times keeps you attuned to the wonder and amazement of life. I love watching really old cartoons and absurd movies like the Monte Python ones. Why not?

I still love walking down the sidewalk in the fall dragging my feet and kicking piles of leaves. The sound brings back childhood memories for me. At 67 I’m just a big kid in some ways.

I get paid to teach children how to play with toys. It's a lot harder than it sounds.

Playing in the dirt.
It's now referred to as "gardening".

I still enjoy legos and playing games a lot. Also love collecting fun looking pillows...

I still build models. It's very relaxing for me, with a nice sense of accomplishment.

There is nothing I have from my childhood that I do as an adult. I don't have a very well rounded life with hobbies and such

Want to come check out my Nerf guns?

I collect 1/6 scale figures

I like to read YA books because they're more fun than adult books. Why is so many adult novels never have any adventures or fun?

I still like video games and anything related to comics and some Japanese Anime.

I also enjoy watching cartoons, especially if it's something from back in the 80's when I was growing up.

I love to play lego with my son. Sometimes he leaves me and I continue to play alone for a couple of hours. Great stress reducer.
Same with Electric trains, I usually do more than my son...
