Pattern blocks

You can click on the title of this post to see where we got these blocks (Discount School Supply -- I did a lot of research online (after calling the local toy stores who were all out of them) and these were the cheapest available -- I think they're made in China, and they're not 100% perfect, but they're adequate!). I think I bought 2 sets of them this past fall when Sabine was going crazy with the smaller Melissa and Doug set that someone gave us. It's really fun to have LOTS of them to make into interesting patterns.


Happy 7 year old.

Kapla (blocks) are cool

Sabine wanted to make a tower using all 1,000 Kapla blocks (thanks Granny Jean and Boopy!). She got some ideas from the books sent by Grandmother Joan and we went to town. (The platform on the floor is our future giant coffee table, it's a kitchen table we bought on Craigslist for $25, Bret's going to saw the legs down, so they're off right now. Thanks for the idea, Kat!)









Knocking it down was almost as fun as building it.
