I just wanted to share some of what is fun in our home right now…

Drawing and Playdough are a big hit… especially with Colin and Khéna… Colin can spend hours at a time at the kitchen table with either…

Video games:
Spore and the Lego Series (Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones etc)
Zelda: Twilight Princess (though Xavier and I both finished our games last week)

Board Games:

metaforms-new-ob-400

Meta-Formes Colin likes this one… it is a logic game and you follow the instructions in the book on where to put the shapes…

architecto-400-ob

Architecto I bought this one for Xavier because he loves to build… there is a book with shapes to build and you figure out how to make them with the blocks…

and well… I guess my own love of logic games shows because another favourite… (though it is a new one because I bought it Friday) is

Camelot Jr

122992

This is a really fun one… the book shows a starting position of the blocks and which blocks to use to complete the puzzle… you need to get the knight to the princess…

Toys:

Lego are always a hit… so are Playmobil…we have a great selection of both…

Khéna is loving any type of vehicle at the moment… and Xavier got a Barrel of Monkeys in exchange for his lost tooth and he plays with it pretty much everyday…

and something that had been put away for a while but just came out again is the marble run… I love our Marble run… we had put it away for a while because there was no place that they could play without Khéna getting at it and making it fall or getting the marbles… but now he is bigger and there is more space because of the changes we made, so we took it out again… it is amazing to see how much Xavier’s abilities have evolved in the time that it was away!

Here is one Xavier made this morning…
