I talked recently with my friend Donna about building sets and toys that boys will play with for hours: toys that teach them to figure things out and learn how things work together.
One toy she recommended was “Gears! Gears! Gears!” and I was so glad we had just talked about it. . . When I went to the thrift store, I found a set (with most of the pieces are there, it seems) for $4! Just $4!
Micah loves it!–and the options are endless. We still haven’t figured out how to work that purple jagged piece in the middle. . . but seriously: if we could figure it out that quickly, how long would the fun really last?!
I made the blog! Whoo Hoo! LOL 🙂 They really are wonderful toys. beaux loves his. We may have to add more to his collection for Christmas. Micah is getting so big! Great shots Becky! And $4, wow! I’m jealous. LOL 🙂 (SOOO glad you found time to blog. Ive missed reading about your life (even though I get e mails, ha ha)
