Quick and Easy Homemade Toy

So simple and very Quick.

You need:

* an old small sock

* rice

* about a meter of thin rope


How:

* pour a few handfulls of rice into the sock, using a spoon makes it so much easier, until it settles into the shape of a small ball

* knot the leg of the sock

* tie the rope securely onto the knotted sock and head out into an open space to let the new toy fly.

As your kiddo's are spinning and throwing the toy, be careful to not be too absorbed in recording the fun. I was clicking away when Kangaroo unbelievably managed to 'sock' Kookaburra in the eye. They had so much space to run around in!


I was glad I had the camera though. As Kookaburra walked towards me crankily conveying the incident, Kangaroo rushed to embrace Kookaburra for a quick apologetic hug. I quickly clicked and well...


brothers are so sweet.

Concentrate

for hours, until he's almost got it :)

I'm so proud of how Kookaburra can build, to me it seems, almost anything. We always keep plenty of projects around for him and he's learnt over time, that he will be ready for different projects when he's ready and not before hand. Lots of frustration has led him to calmly put away projects and try again in a few months. Kookaburra has had this ship for nearly six months and today he sat and built for hours till nearly completion. Concentration plus!
