Dive In!

This is a favourite in the house.  There are fights.

The writing is really bad.  Nothing makes any sense to babies, or even toddlers.  They should have not tried to rhyme any of it.

But the concept is cute.  Working mice coming out with all of their machines and equipment to fill the bathtub with water and toys.

All of the movable pieces are super sturdy. Nothing has been broken on this book yet!  My toddler is mesmerized every time he sits down with it.

Friday Post - Fanta Color

 This is a great little Italian peg board with coloured pegs.  It comes with some suggestions for pictures you can make, but the booklet contains pictures made on all different sized boards with different sizes and shapes of pegs...  I guess it's advertising for us to upgrade.

We only have the little portable one, which is enough for us.  The box that stores the pegs snaps onto the frame so that you can carry it around or hang it on the wall to display your picture.  This has been a great alternative to Lite Brite, which is sort of dangerous because you have to plug it in and is wasteful because it requires all that black paper.  Also, lite brite pegs are way too teeny for our household.
