What so called "childish" or innocent pursuits does anyone have?
Myself, I like blowing bubbles. I always have a pot of them in the car, and often take them out when I go on a walk and sit down and blow them and watch them float gently over the landscape or historic site. I do find it very therapeutic and suppose it is a sort of stimming although it is usually done when I am calm, although sometimes I must say when I have had a difficult few minutes I get the urge to blow them.
I also love watching old children's television programmes from when I was young. Catweazel, the Gerry Anderson puppet series (Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds and even Four Feather Falls), Follyfoot (I fell in love with Dora as a teenager!).
And I am never far from my recorder. Although I stopped being taught at the age of 11, I carried on with playing it and even though my music reading is below very basic I can pick out a tune and change the key to suit very easily.
So does anyone else have these sort of so called childish pursuits and what are they?

I have a 'Snowman' shaped chocolate which I have had for a few years and several bunnies. Eventually they get broken and have to be thrown away, but eating them would be like some form of cannibalism!

Same here. I wouldn't eat jelly babies as a child and I have several chocolate 'bunnies' on a shelf which I know I will never be able to bring myself to eat.
