building with daddy again

Do you remember Lincoln Logs? Hubby again pulled out the ones he had as a child and the boys really like them! They all pretty much camped out in the rumpus room during the heat-wave and played with them instead of daring the heat outside.

Other than the obvious building skills, Lincoln Logs are great for my boy’s coordination and concentration. They take a lot of that to build anything on bumpy carpet! They also get your mind going figuring out the process to build what you want the way you want it whether you are building something pictured on the box or not! It gives Hubby and I a chance to see how the boys are doing following directions, too, as often they’ll ask us for help building a particular structure and we try to get them to help us instead of doing it for them.
