Legos are so much fun- I know there are K'Nex and all those other types out there now, too. Gotta keep that bright mind engaged!<BR/><BR/>Here's to a very easy recovery from surgery on February 2nd.

When the kids were very small, one was asking for some new toy. On impulse, I built a copy (sort of) from Legos. I did that a few times, then the kids built their own copies of toys they saw. They played with the Lego copy till they tired of it then built something else. A few boxes of Legos became many, many other toys.<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143823763377733172.post-30303189050001848012009-01-19T14:31:00.000-06:002009-01-19T14:31:00.000-06:00the excellent idea Amys OT gave her is actually on...the excellent idea Amys OT gave her is actually one that I'm very familiar with. being a sped teacher for quite a # of yrs. I've tried this and seen absolute great results. another idea you might want to give a shot is the "I need a break box" but be careful and set rules because some kids can abuse it! lots of luckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143823763377733172.post-57031226015880939492009-01-19T08:27:00.000-06:002009-01-19T08:27:00.000-06:00aww i like nature too! the birds the sound of a st...aww i like nature too! the birds the sound of a stream! :SWww.lozsmedicsljourney.blogspot.co.ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04054921630845997488noreply@blogger.com
