I've thought as some are getting older I should change things up a bit, but they still take pleasure in playing with what I've got. Play dough though is not one of my favorites. The younger generation is a good influence on us and lets us remember the glory of being a child.

Although I have raised 4 children, I never got rid of my own old childhood toybox and now use its odds and ends in photos and doodles. Kids are pretty much like that; whatever toys fire their imaginations --and what they do with them-- leave with them as they pursue their own paths in life.

I don't have children in my house very often, but when I do, I'm prepared with Legos, some trucks and cars, puzzles, and board games--the same ones I bought for my own children. I was the mom who didn't allow Nintendo, and my kids have thanked me for the lack of it.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.com
