We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and the kids had fun exploring everything. They all enjoyed the drums and were gathered around the table beating on the drums singing their own separate songs.
I moved the climber into the middle of the floor and we were singing songs and the kids were running around and around the climber. You really don't have to change the environment very much for this age group to enjoy a completely "new" play area! This is a picture of them playing on the climber after circling it dozens of times!
Mia comes with a binky, but gives it up before breakfast and then I put it on her cubby until she leaves for home. This morning she took her binky out, handed it to Nora and said, "Here binky!" So Nora says, "Ok! And she heads for the gate to give it to me!" It was pretty funny; Mia was busy and knew Nora would handle it for her!
This set of toys has another set of those viewfinder toys (I don't know what else to call them) with animal pictures. I was holding them up to Mia's eyes and loving her answers. She actually does know her animals pretty well and we frequently work on them. But here are a couple of funny ones from this morning; It was a close-up of a squirrel - "Horsey!" A skunk - "Panda!" (love that one!) A close-up of a large toad with huge eyes - "Owl!!"
