We went to the movies the other day. The tickets were $6.50 for adults and $5.00 for kids. I asked my 5-year-old twins (going into first-grade this fall) how much money we needed for my aunt, myself and them to get in. They collaborated and came up with the answer, $23. Then they gave the cashier $25. I told them they could keep the change if they could tell me how much it would be. They each put $1 in their bank when we got home!

My 3 year old LOVES (LOL) Knex. Though, he still needs help with his creations. So as I am helping him around, we keep counting the parts: the wheels are great, but the small connectors are the best: we add them, substract them, all during play, all while he adds and removes parts naturally!
