Beginnings/Children's Toys

OK, I swore I was going with the 52 week premise, but when I looked at the 366 list, it was just SO tempting. So maybe I'll go with 52+: I'll concentrate on the 52 list, but see where I can merge it with the 366. This is all just so much fun!

Anyway, this is my younger granddude, Craig, playing with the Duplo train we bought about 20 years ago for his Uncle Chris. Toys like this are the beginnings of dreams, and dreams are the springboard to the future.

  3. That's the spirit Bobbie!

    As is usually the case, the old toys seem to be the most fun to play with.

  4. Bobbi, I'm taking photography lessons this year with a couple of friends. Our assignment this month is "The Decisive Moment".....defined as capturing a fleeting moment in time. I'm thinking this pensive moment of your grandchild would qualify. Nice capture!

    Lovely image of some intense concentration and fascination

  7. I think a lot of us will (hopefully) travel the same path for posting photos. Love how you depicted this theme. Kids (especially grandkids) work for almost any theme.

  9. The classic toys just seem to keep going and going and attract children regardless of how old the toy is. I'm a fan of those that require some imagination as they hold a child's attention sooo much longer. The vignette helps emphasize the "own little world" Craig is playing in at the moment.

  12. those toys are always a joy and they last for generation even though they develop a lot. I thought of the 52's myself but as you say, it's so much fun so I guess I will add some extras. Lokking forward for yours!
