I much prefer them using their imaginations than what the instructions say. I have a hard time helping them build the pirate ship, train tracks and the castle so they can then use their imagination.

Much more creative and much less frustrating to the parents. Another time in their lives will come to learn the skills of following directions. In childhood, having fun goes a long way and developing their creativity is very important too!

But luckily we seem to have established that it doesn't matter if the train track joins up! I am not quite up to castles or elaborate Lego stuff yet - yikes! The worst part for me is that I find it so hard to think with a constant commentary. Oh, and this is a good model in perserverance, but also problem solving for children .-= Catherine´s last blog ..<a href="http://adventureskids.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-can-we-do-with-hula-hoop.html" rel="nofollow">what can we do with a hula hoop?</a> =-.
