Christmas Hangover 2013

Not so bad in this house...Imaginext, as always, was a huge hit. Our favorite thing to do is set up all our castles, perch some nights at the top, and use some of our very dangerous/super stealth-like weapons to destroy them (a.k.a. knock them down and then set them right up again). I do love watching and listening to this boy's imagination during these theatrical sessions. 

Next up (and my personal fave), the Magna-Tiles. We've had the starter set of 100 since last Christmas, but always seemed to battle for them during our after dinner build-offs. Now, thanks to Gigi, we may have friendlier family Magna-Matches ;) 

PS...my list could go on and on of SC standards I could teach using these bad boys. From light properties, 3D figures, geometric patterns, symmetry, classification, directional words, etc. Alright, end teacher scene.
