Toys that Work For Me!
|
This Wednesday is a Backwards Works for Me! We have the assignment to share the great toys which make all the Goodwill Cuts and remain in the house! I look forward to reading all the recommendations! I have 9 children and a relatively small house. That is a recipe for disaster. We can get so cluttered so quickly it's not even funny. And I HATE finding pieces of games on the other side of the house from where it is played. Battleship and Risk are the WORST for that! I finally broke down and bought Risk on the computer, but just threw away Battleship. But for what DOES work? These are my favorite family toys: -The Trampoline and outside swingset. Gets the noise and energy outside instead of under my feet. - Leap Pad Videos... these effortlessly teach letter sounds (My 2 year old learned them without a hitch!), how to put them together into short vowel words, long vowel words, and punctuation. They are GREAT!!! - Papo Knights. If you have to have toys underfoot, these are GREAT! Here's a link, but if you google Papo Knights you can find them. Add them to some lincoln logs and you have hours of entertainment! -Webkins - My girls were introduced to these last summer by their cousins. They now have 2 and just love to go online and decorate their rooms and stuff. This has given them incentive to get their school and chores done quickly. Gotta love that! They also only have one account, so they all play together and it has really fostered a lot of bonding between the three girls. I cannot wait to read of other's recommendations! Although we do not do Christmas really big (one gift per person from us), we have 6 of our 11 birthdays between Christmas and Saint Patrick's Days! Yikes!  |
