Building with blocks

Growing up, my sisters and I had a tub of wooden blocks. We would spend hours and hours building castles and towers with them and send them CRASHING down. Now I plan to pass it on to the Lil' Tiger. I got these beautiful blocks from KMart and we started building and stacking the blocks.  One minute she is building a castle like the boys from her day care and the next, she is building a house for mummy.  Sometimes she ask me to help and she just watches as I stack them on and then starts copying it in her own way.

I love how toys like these wooden blocks and the Legos from last week do not require any batteries at all but still manage to keep a child entertained for hours and hours. These are the sort of toys that I love. It not only encourage her imagination but it also encourage her fine motor skills and logic. A very good "off screen" type of activities for young children these days.

This is how we roll!

And just like that CRASH.
