"Look Ma, no crayons or paper!" Now, I love a good mess as well as the next guy, but this magnetic drawing board is too sweet for words! Jude can scribble away, then erase and start again, and it's terrific for hand-eye coordination! Reminds me of playing with Wooly Willie, as a kid. Willie also came with a pen which was used to move magnet dust around, for adding features, like hair, beard and a mustache.
Here's to the good old days, and the good new days,
Bubbie and Jude
P.S. Let's here about your memories of favorite toys from the past, that may be similar to the toys being used by your grandchildren in the present!

Playing With Play Dough
Play Dough is a great, calming, sensory activity which helps with hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and increases the attention span for children... and of course entertains this Grandmom to no end. I get to help squeeze, roll, and pat the dough before Jude pours the pieces from one container to the next. I can't wait to graduate to snakes and braids. In the meantime, I'd sure like to figure out an easier way to pick-up the dough from the rug. Any Play-Dough Vacs out there? Let me know if you've got any ideas!
Open for suggestions,
