There is nothing better than old time toys!

Have you ever wondered what play time was like for our parents and grandparents? There were no video games or cartoons. They had to play with wooden blocks and paper dolls and things like that..... sounds perfect to me.

I have been on a search for old toys that were in good enough shape and reasonably priced so that the children could play with then on a regular basis. Here is one of my favorite finds.

 
I picked up two cans of American Logs at an antique store that belongs to a friend of mine. I couldn't have gotten a can of new, plastic Lincoln Logs for the price I paid for these... and they are actually wood.
 
Little Man plays for hours with these. You can see he has a collection of "cars" in front of him in the photo. Sissy is in the background with her cabin. What great fun!

Until next time,
Mother Dean
