ReplyDeleteI agree with all of those ingredients. And I agree with the toys you listed, I think we have some variation on most of those.
ReplyDeleteWe just entered the world of little legos. We wanted to take something small with us for our trip that would entertain them for a while. The legos fit the bill perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYour silly! I followed myself somehow too! I have no clue how not to do it. My things keep showing up on my dashboard!
ReplyDeletegreat ideas! you are just so creative!!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture! You cannot go wrong with the props you listed. I just wish we had the space to have all of them available at all times :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing--this is a reminder to me that our dress-up really needs a makeover!!
ReplyDeleteThose are some of our favorite things too!! Love the photo... Emily's favorite thing to dress up as is a pirate! She uses a chinese calendar scroll for a treasure map.
