We got a basic set from my colleagues when Mika was born. We also got gift certificates for a wooden toy store. So last Saturday we went to that store and bought even more trains and railway-pieces for our set. And ever since we’re playing with it every day! Lara loves it! And so do we… And every time we play and build up the railway we sum up what other pieces we “need” and want to expand our set. There are so many possibilities!
Since we’ve discovered this store we’re even more zealous about getting and buying real toys for our kids. Not that crappy plastic noisy stuff you get at the big toy store chains like Toys”r”us. This store has the old fashioned toys like we had when we were little; wooden trains, puzzles, marble-games, dollhouses, puppet theatres and so on. Stuff that tickles the fantasy and is really “playable”. Not just something that needs a push on a button to play a sound or light.
There’s just one exception when it comes to plastic toys; Lego. That’s a #1 hit too for us.
And the best thing of all this good old fashioned stuff is that we as parents enjoy playing with it as much as our children. That means we’ll share more family activities together as well!
