Isn't it simply that children have far less preconceptions of the world, as they haven't had time to form them, and that unstructured play is part of how children satisfy the in-built drive for novelty and understanding? They need to play to make sense of the world. To a child, the most mundane things are genuinely fascinating and novel, as they haven't experienced them much yet. Psychedelics are one way to reach this state of mind as an adult. They unravel our preconceptions a noticeable amount, transforming the mundane into something novel and fascinating yet again. I think this perspective, with some effort, can be fostered as an adult as well. Of course, it's a balancing act.
