I love the idea of the shelf with a few toys for Maggie. We do something similar-- a little trick I picked up from the Montessori school. With the preschoolers we used trays with their "work" on the shelves. For example a tray might have stacks of laminated pictures of vertebrates and invertebrates and their work would be to sort them out into the respective category. Part of the discipline was that they had to return the work the shelf and it made the room really really organized. Other examples of "work" might be geometric shapes to arrange in patterns, puzzles, finger strengthening exercises to get ready for writing etc etc. The cubes in W's room are great because we can do something similar. Right now we have a toy with gears to help him learn cause effect, a shape sorter for geometry and other cool stuff. We can rotate the toys, too, so it keeps his space really exciting and is setting the stage for fun homeschooling.
Impressive!
very productive
You know that toy maggie has on the bottom shelf; that 3D pyramid thing? Joseph has the EXACT same one! He likes the pink & green spinny things on it!!
