I've found myself surprised at how creative my kids can be. Their cousins spent the night the other night and I brought out some blocks for Teo to play with but of course every single one of them crowded round and started building lots of different things.
I went to the bedroom and brought in a box with more blocks in it. One of the kids found a dice in the box and Donald created a game where you each start with the same number of blocks and you take turns to roll the dice, whatever number is on the dice is how many you stack, whoever has stacked all their blocks first wins. I say 'Donald Created' but I'm not sure if there may already be such a game on the market, in my eyes he's created it because I don't know of any such game and I'm darn sure he didn't so in his mind he created it.
Tonight while Teo was in the bath I heard them bickering telling each other to stop cheating, I thought they must be playing Joys Tea Party Board Game but when I peeked in they were sitting on the floor with Teos pots and pans.
there was 4 pans and one would hide a piece of play food under 1 of the pans and then they would tap the top of the pans 1 at a time with a toy spoon and the other had to say 'stop' when they tapped the pan they thought it was under.
They are so creative and I'm so proud of them!
When Teo came out of his bath he saw them playing their game and assumed they were playing the drums and just had to have a go!
Of course Donald and Joy were sad that they couldn't play their game anymore but they are Teos pans after all! and I am sure they will come up with more fun games!
