Not sure yet. Will think about it.tweetey30https://www.blogger.com/profile/04780963604845788306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36979815.post-40325400787211379142007-11-27T17:09:00.000-05:002007-11-27T17:09:00.000-05:00I've noticed that our local Target has one of the ...I've noticed that our local Target has one of the best toy aisles -- There's tons of educational games that are organized by age group. It may be worth taking a look just to get some ideas. You could probably just look at the boxes and figure out how to make a lot of the toys.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650764561515647017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36979815.post-73677093509059866452007-11-27T17:06:00.000-05:002007-11-27T17:06:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650764561515647017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36979815.post-61781792901652210802007-11-27T12:05:00.000-05:002007-11-27T12:05:00.000-05:00Notta thank you.

It's been around forever and can be educational AND fun. When I play with kids, I use it to teach prepositions (on/off, front/back, beside), following directions ("make the cow _____), and asking "who" questions (I have my animal knock on the barn door, and the kid has to say "who's there?", etc). You can teach other things, like singing "Old McDonald's Farm". You can also teach certain phrases and sentences by introducing novel activities. For example, there's a bed in the loft of the barn, and I started having the animals "go to bed", then we wake them up. I like to see which new routines kids can come up with on their own. With a lot of the "old standby" toys, you can teach many things, and kids love them.Notta Wallflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834849368518301856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36979815.post-16613500170189779762007-11-27T10:47:00.000-05:002007-11-27T10:47:00.000-05:00Gayle he works from 6:30 am till about 6:30 pm.

The job he has is killing him not literally but it could at any point in time if one of those tires hit him just right. It scares the shit out of me to have him out there like that.<BR/><BR/>CA thanks those puzzles were cool. I didndt play any of them but did take a look for the time being.tweetey30https://www.blogger.com/profile/04780963604845788306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36979815.post-73216959593392340562007-11-27T10:12:00.000-05:002007-11-27T10:12:00.000-05:00How about Chinese puzzles?

Here are three links to some to give you an idea about them.<BR/><BR/>http://www.ledindon.com/casse-tete/index.php/en<BR/><BR/>http://games.ztor.com/tang/<BR/><BR/>http://puzzlemuseum.com/month/picm06/200612chinese3.htmCa...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14853633712475346904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36979815.post-2831412829188873192007-11-27T10:07:00.000-05:002007-11-27T10:07:00.000-05:00I'm glad you aren't buying Chinese products, Tweet...I'm glad you aren't buying Chinese products, Tweetey. Good for you! More people need to follow your example.<BR/><BR/>I haven't bought presents for any three-year-olds for years, so I can't help you with that one. :)<BR/><BR/>My son worked as a Trucker for several years. It's a very demanding and grueling job. Since Jeff is a trucker he wouldn't have the time required to run a blog anyway, unless he had a lap-top with him, but at the end of every day he would probably be too tired to mess with it.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540710405153666843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36979815.post-52182473498788349542007-11-26T17:29:00.000-05:002007-11-26T17:29:00.000-05:00Gardenia no Jeff doesnt care for the blog world. ...Gardenia no Jeff doesnt care for the blog world.

He's complained at times about me being on the computer - he forgets about disappearing for hours on end with ballgames and dollar store shopping - so I'm not going to let it bother me.<BR/>I tell him I need someone to talk with! <BR/><BR/>I noticed Toys R Us are stilling selling those dots that have the chemical in them that acts like the date rape drug and knocks little kids out. They were supposed to be pulled from the shelves, but they offered them on sale instead!!! Books are a good idea for gifts. A child that is proficient in reading has a big headstart in learning.<BR/><BR/>Sage was cranky this weekend too - I think it was all the sugar stuff we ate around Thanksgiving - and tiredness too. I have to go help him - he didn't get all his work done in school and has a TON of it and needs help.Gardeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233358355888022857noreply@blogger.com
