All the world is a toy...

Yeah, pots and pans are fun too...with the wooden spoon they become a musical instrument. Pans with lids...pre-math matching skills (and banging-again musical!). But the best is BOXES! You can have lot of fun with a box.
Kelly is spot-on: don't need fancy stuff from Toys 'R Us. Just all that stuff hanging from the hooks in the kitchen. But, maybe, not the fancy heavy pots and pans. Boxes I hadn't thought of, but they sound great! Kids can gum them, soften them up, get more fiber into their diet. But, it's probably no better than poi.
I have yet another idea for Charli and her neat spoon. She can use it to cook up delicious meal for Mambaw and Grandpa L. Something strained or mashed I would assume.
By the way Kelly and Brian-speaking of boxes--do you guys remember the afternoon you spent at Ritter's sliding down their backyard hill in that big appliance box. Now there is fun!!! I don't know if it taught any skills, except for perhaps survival skill. Mambaw
Tupperware. Tupperware is a winner. Still is at the age of 3 too. Now, that doesn't mean some of the fancy stuff isn't useful (I still say the $100 we spent on the activity table with little walker/seat that swung around it was the best money spent -- she still plays with the darned table...), but not necessary :0).
I remember the afternoon in the box...the survival skills came in when we had to skillfully avoid the weeping willow tree in the middle of thier yard!
Yep...boxes are great.
WHAT A BEAUTY!!

I remember the box day as well. What is funny is that the way I remember it we were doing something that seemed incredibly dangerous. I just remember that hill in their back yard being huge, and getting into the box and closing it, then rolling down that huge hill. Probably the hill wasn't quite as large as I remember it though...
