Ever notice how older kids magically become attracted to baby/toddler toys?  I came the other day to find the kids playing with their “knockover blocks”, these foam blocks that Mari got for Christmas when she was 9 months old.  I’ve blogged about them before, they have been used for everything from stacking to pretend play as people to sorting, etc.  They were retired a while ago, I actually thought I had gave them away but not before they were enthusiastically discovered again . . .

And, one that we haven’t tried to give away yet, another favorite that has taken on life beyond 1 year old stacking & nesting . . .

Tobin has been using as drums for quite some time, notice the actual electric drum set sitting behind him:)
