When my kids were 6 months old, I gradually started each one on "crib time/room time" where they had to start with 15 minutes and work up to an hour a day of independent play time in their rooms... nothing but toys and their imaginations! (And none of the toys had batteries, of course!) I'm amazed now that they can play for extended periods by themselves. They actually don't even need toys, half the time... JUST their imaginations. Hopefully, it's not a lost art, or we might be missing a whole generation of engineers, designers, architects, writers and more! =]everydayMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05812990338739856399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104797416476983528.post-64587635064020719842008-12-08T08:49:00.000-07:002008-12-08T08:49:00.000-07:00I've seen that ad too!

Maybe they should get the kids some more art supplies :)<BR/>If you're looking for a gift for your niece, make sure you check out Discovery Toys (www.discoverytoyslink.com/cindic).

It's been a challenge finding good gifts for our neice Elli this Christmas...she's a smart 4 year old with an imagination and we want to be sure it stays that way...<BR/>I was appalled to see an ad the otehr day -a christmas ad from Walmart. The parents are al ltouched because the kids take the Walmart flyer and make a picture for their Dad of al lthe things they want for presents glued to it and give it to him. Wrong...<BR/>Your kids are brilliant - to me the ide aof what I hope our kids will be like (if we ever get round to all that business). I'd say you're doing something right.<BR/>Having a computer isn't too bad...we had one as kids and we still had vivid imaginations. We just had limited time on it...Geosominhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729167937433295927noreply@blogger.com
