I recently started choosing a toy of the week for C and R to play with. It is always an open ended toy that will allow them to use their imaginations, and I try to pick toys that have been ignored. Toys get ignored around here because C and R have so many choices. This week C and R enjoyed playing with Magneatos.
Most of the time, I just let them play with the magneatos on their own, but we did spend some time talking about magnets and why the pieces "stick" together. I also made shapes and patterns for C and R to recreate.
What are some of your favorite open ended toys that your children enjoy?
