Is it normal to play with toys as an adult and not think it's childish?

I use small toys, usually spaceships or tiny action figures, to shrink myself down into a space that would be really amazing to be in at that size. Like a bed of clovers or a sandbox. There isn't actually much of a plot except for exploration and trying to climb over tall things or escaping floods but I can spend hours doing this. I'm curious why this would be judged by people as immature or childish.

    Actually, it may be something called "age regression" which is a completely non-sexually way to deal with trauma, depression, or anxiety. basically people go into what is called "little space" and they act more childish and play with toys and things like that.

    Imagination is more important than knowledge.

        JFK said basically the same thing.

    I do the same thing, but with wooden blocks and color books and overall children's toys. Its calming and centering. Whether you experience regression or not, this is perfectly okay.
