Toy soldiers with a twist
Updated | By Sihle Mthembu

Before I was a parent I heard some very naive words come out of my mouth.
One of them being that if I ever had a son he would never play with toy guns.
Ha! Just yesterday Cooper and Rocco were screaming around the garden with stick-swords and plastic guns.
In an ideal world I would love only toys of peace and love to be offered for kids to play with.
This idea of the army green man - usually poised and ready for gun action - is literally flipped onto its head in the series of photos below.
The art of yoga as opposed to the art of war. I love it!
Would my son be as excited as his mom? Maybe not.
Just for fun, I tried out two of the poses. And the results are below. :-)
