Play at Five and Eight

 

The boys have a few of those little hex bugs...really fun micro robotic creatures that truly move like small insects.  The boys built a hex bug stadium/maze for the little buggers...using nearly everything they could find.  Who needs the real hex bug stadium when you can build your own crazy  maze?  There are about five of them here in the photo...sort of I SPY-ish.  Where are the hex bugs?  I think two are obvious.  Both boys like them a lot and on this particular day clean up was a whole lot of fun.  (Not)

Still, their number one favorite play toy --- continues to be animals.  Plastic animals.  This has been true since they were very young and I don't see the animals losing their importance.  The play is just getting more sophisticated these days.  Here are a series of animal habitats with food that the boys created with Anna.  It was a half-day Saturday project mind you.  All two hundred animals lined up and waited their turn for their own unique and custom made habitats.   There is no way our boys have a problem with using their imaginations.
