The old toys are best--the ones that engage a child's imagination. Today--in honor of his graduation from kindergarten--we gave Aidan a set of TinkerToys. His eyes lit up, and he immediately set to building. 365/2011
Congrats Aidan! Those used to be a favorite of mine too....just so exciting to think what you can build, the possibilities are endless...love the look of concentration in that little face!
A great toy that allows lots of creativity and stretches the imagination. He looks like he is deep in the middle of a project and oblivious to all around him.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
Endless hours of fun ahead, and not a keyboard in sight!
