Cutie Pie found a strong magnet on the fridge, one that we usually keep up high but for some reason were using it low enough for him to reach. He was also playing with two Christmas tins that had been holding the ornaments for the little Christmas tree. Somehow the magnet made it between the two tins and Cutie Pie was immediately excited! A sled was born! Wish I could post a pic, but the computer that houses our pics is currently having a few adjustments made, which will mean pics for future posts!
Teddy bears, hippo, Pooh, all took a ride in the sled across our floors. They also took turns being in front! Why can’t he make discoveries like this earlier in the day to keep himself occupied rather than just before bedtime?! Nonetheless, his little discoveries usually lead to other experiments some other day, so it has left me wondering what we’ll be trying tomorrow!
Slide on over to We Play at Childhood 101 to see how others are playing!
If the magnet is strong enough you might even be able to get the sleds to move across a packing box with the magnet under the box – that was a fav of mine in science class!!

Magnets provide so much fun, even for grown-ups. I can sit there for hours playing with them LOL
And yes, they have a fun way of scheduling their best independent stuff right before bed or when you need them to do something else, don't they? 🙂
Yep we too have that just before bedtime discovery thing happening 😀
Magnets are so much fun to pay with and the sled sounds really cool 🙂
