Potato people!

No.. not the book!  Just the timeless classical toy: Mr Potato Head.

It is also a miracle that we still have all the bits and bobs after all these years.  I attribute that to the big container it came in.  I just love toys that come in their own container.  It makes cleaning up so much easier!

Spot will sit and play with this toy for ages!  And they like to make up little stories with them.  Another toy where the kids can change it around and make hilarous things.  I love the one on the end with the horn for a hat!

Magnet toys

I have to admit that I am sad I cannot include the beautiful, smiling faces of the little ones in these photos, I post these photos so that our families and friends can have an idea of what we get up to.  (Or what the little ones get up to...!)

Within these parameters I can at least use this blog as a way of allowing the kids to look back on these little things they did when they were younger.  And add that I just loved spending the morning playing with Spiderman and Spot, and watching Spiderman do these pictures entirely on his own! 

And together, Spot and I created these:

I know I shouldn't say 'create' because we're really just following the card, but the beauty of this toy is that it allows for the older ones to make up their own animals/scenes etc.  It's a toy that really grows with them.  I also can't believe that we still have all the pieces and cards after 2 or 3 years.  That is definitely a miracle!
