WOODKINS! Woodkins are these great wooden toys with cutouts of people and rooms and scenery and they come with scraps of fabric (and you can add more of your own) with which the child decorates the people and the furniture. A friend gave my 3 y/o daughter a set and she played with it for hours! That's like a year in 3 y/o time!! The photo shows my 6 y/o son and my toddler enjoying it as well. You can find them at places where "hands-on" toys are sold. One of my favorite sites is : http://www.fatbraintoys.com/toy_companies/small_world_toys/woodkins.cfm
What's great about these toys is that they are durable, safe, and evoke creativity. They would make a good choice for a "take along" toy as well when you need something for a car ride or doctor's office waiting room survival item (or heaven forbid, the DMV). WOODKINS! Do your children have woodkins? What do you think about them?
