Now that I have my baby girl it's the same thing. I have always been searching for answers but I have given up because I never really found them. Just look at these photos of Mayumi !
Behind her there are toys that she could really play and it's actually educational toys. But look at her she is contented with that wood spatula that I use for cooking! I don't know what's amusing about this one. It's not even colorful, usually kids play with colorful toys because it attracts there sense of sight right? Since during the day we are together I always observe that she plays with the toys but not that long probably she finds it boring ?! She will always tries to get something from the kitchen and plays with it! Is it maybe because of curiosity? But she could also be curious with the toys they have especially those educational and colored stuffs?
Now she's in the kitchen trying to find out how to open the milk in those tetra pak! Personally, I do not find this interesting and it doesn't amuse me. I prefer to see her play with real toys not to interfere in my kitchen.....my domain lol !
Well, could you please explain to me what's interesting about this strainer ? Boy, I don't really get it. Have you ever experienced this with your children, your nephews, nieces doing the same stuffs? Assure me please and I need an answer ! It seems children are really difficult to understand when it comes to having their choices of toys.....I am a confuse Mom and in fact, a bit hesitant to buy toys for them this coming Christmas season because my husband and I are thinking that they have already tons of them. Any gifts suggestions that can attract their attention this time? Maybe they could be more willing to play with it.

as an old timer mom,(opps buking!)
i learned from experience that children observes a lot what mommy is doing. If she sees you cooking, she likes to be the big mom also.Kids 'worst age is three years old, because they got good legs, can climb, run and go round like teddy bear with soo much energy.
Thats why they are in school at age three! To pass the bucket to the teacher, lol
I think mayumi is a clever girl. How about picture books? Drawing pads and crayond? Maybe she upgrade herself faster than the age she is in.
Well, children play with anything that can be remotely amusing, including the pot, glasses, and yes boxes ..even until now, my daughter loves to play with big boxes...
I guess, they try to explore and discover what these things can do and so they develop many skills, like music, art, building, etc..
Its hard to think of Christmas presents for your own kids...they have long lists (especially when they start paying attention to commercials on TV and browsing through flyers). I would go with educational toys for sure.
musta ka na haze? i'm quite busy lately, hardly get the time to blog nga.. and it's almost christmas..! bilis ng panahon!
kisses to the family
Leah - Grabe di ba Leah, it's just very strange! I mean we buy toys for them sometimes we even save money for expensive ones tapos boxes lang pala gusto nila, ay kakadismaya minsan ! sigh . Yes, my preference too for educational toys.
Niceheart - Naku we already have lego toys at home too! Buti nga di sya mahilig magsubo eh but I'm being careful rin coz we will never know di ba! We doesn't have board games yet but we have a lot of puzzles made of wood and cartons!
Analyse - Naku Ana, thanks Wonderful idea, I already thought about it kasi the last time I saw it on T.V.! I also don't buy dolls at home kasi nga takot si Mimi eh just received some from friends but she hates it !!!
We're OK Ana, kayo musta alam ko busy ka, kami nga di pa nakakabili ng gifts for the kids eh !hay buhay :)
O see you on the net, on vous embrasse !
I agree with Francesca. It's nice to play mommy's things. :-))
BTW, Mayumi's sooooo cute!
Joy - Oo nga, I was a bit worried i thought my kids are indifferent hahaha! I guess simple things make them happy...pabor sa tin di na tayo gagastos hehehe! Thanks Joy, marami na rin syang alam na kakulitan ;).
kindly read this, you may find it informative.
happy everyday sis!
Toe - Thanks Toe! Nakakapagtaka talaga ang mga bata and they never stop to amaze me everyday! Lots of surprises too :)! Have a nice day Toe!
Right now, what makes me sad....madali magsawa ang anak ko sa toys nya. I bought it today then after 2 to 3 days, ayaw na nya...talagang itatapon pa. Hay nako.
O btw, Mayumi is cute with a streamer hat.
kids do the darndest things eh.... although I do remember having more fun with the box than the toy when I was little :) Very cute kids!
Salut!
