The community where we live had a yard sale last Saturday, and the kids wanted to take part in it. I helped them gather clothes they had grown out of and toys they were tired of playing with. I was surprised that at the end they had earned $40 and learned many good lessons in the process!
The next day they went to Walmart with their Auntie Julia and Uncle Paul. Zack bought a new Star Wars Lego set, and Sophia bought a big stuffed elephant and an elephant dvd. I was pleased that they learned how to earn and wisely spend money.
Lately Zack is very interested in building Lego ships. The first one I bought him was way too hard for him, and I thought it was a bust. I was wrong! He bought this one on his own. It was the same difficulty level as the one he needed help with only he built this one in a single day without assistance. I am of the opinion that Legos are educational and great toys!!! I'm pleased!
Sophia is going through a stuffed animal phase. Each day she gathers collection of about 50 stuffed animals and plays with them for hours! This requires her imagination. I love to listen and watch as she creates different scenarios.
What kinds of toys do/did your kids like?
