Creativity with the blocks

I will admit that when Santa brought blocks for Julia and Andrew, I could imagine only tower after tower being built and knocked down. I had no idea that you could make so many things with blocks. Jeff is the creative one. He and Julia have come up with all sorts of things. Here, they have constructed a kitchen. She's got a pantry with her groceries all set up on the right. That cake you see on the green plate is fresh from the oven. And she's putting something else in the oven right now. In the upper right, partly blocked by Julia's body, is a spoon rack. Ingenious!

Wow! That's what's so great about blocks. They truly have so many possibilities, especially for the creative, and engineering kind of mind. I can't believe Andrew is already standing -- he's growing so fast. What a sweetie! Mom

Just heard a radio interview with David Elkind, professor of child development at Tufts and author of a new book called The Power of Play. It made me think of this blog entry. Toys like blocks are so great for kids -- and Julia seems to love it!
