We have been spending lots of time these past few weeks just enjoying some of the simple things in life such as cutting and building. We have a new love for scissors and we like to cut paper all day long! It's been a lot of fun and she's really getting good at it! Watch out preschool, here comes craft girl! When we go to storytime, I always ask her what she likes best about our day and she replies, "the CRAFT!"
Cutting...
More cutting..
We were out shopping this afternoon and stopped in our local toy store to just LOOK around. They had these Magformers out on display for kids and was showing us how they work. They are triangles and squares that have magnets inside each side of the shapes. they do not have a positive or negative side so they attract easily and make building so simple for kids. Dawson sat there for 30 minutes just building away. She was creating all kinds of things so guess what? They went home with us. I can already tell we are going to spend endless hours with them! 
You can create 2D and 3D shapes either in the air or you can lay them in a pattern on the table and then pull them up and they become 3D......
Another cool thing you can do with these is create 3D shapes on the refrigerator.
These are just laid out on the table in the shape of two houses...that's what Dawson said she created!

Great cutting and building, Dawson! You are such a creative little girl! Your new Magformers look like a cool toy that you will have for a very long time. I bet you can build some interesting things with it!
