My daughter just turned 2 in August. We try to keep her toys to a minimum. I feel like we are always getting her books. But that's a good thing. I love wooden and homemade toys/cloths for her and I always try to make gifts for the parties we attend. Good luck on your move!Teenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967568624586713734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207116079668377453.post-21033905511772496022009-09-22T22:23:45.165-07:002009-09-22T22:23:45.165-07:00It's even harder once the kids are at school. ...It's even harder once the kids are at school. They all talk about what toys they have/want/are going to get. It isn't pretty to hear children discussing who has the most/best toys. I work in a Montessori school in Suffolk and I am seriously considering doing a project on Advertising aimed at children for the reception and year 1/2 children.<br /><br />I have done this with my own children (age 4/7/9) and they are refreshingly dismissive of adverts. You can hear them tell each other, Oh, thet's a piece of plastic rubbish, it looks cool but it won't fly like that. See how the advertiser made the back-ground look amazing? It's amazing and the toy is doing nothing!<br /><br />My heart alswys lifts at this kind of overheard conversation!Annicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691832473765718313noreply@blogger.com
