I've come back to this book often for inspiration - reminders, to listen and let my children unfold. She says "Blocks offer an almost infinite variety of expressive opportunity, from simple designs to veritable engineering feats of bridge building." There have been candy villages, farms, airports and so much more. Letting them work through their connection with each other and their own imagination and development. I heard diplomacy, strategy, confidence and frustration today (among others) - it is fascinating to observe.
If on a tight budget, see if it's in the local library (*perhaps a home education/home school co-op can create a lending library, I plan to use this idea for our area with my extensive book collection as my boys grow).
OTHER WORK:

Vocabulary Adapted From Hap Palmer's Bop 'Til We Drop song - we continue to create our own songs from words. (Hap Palmer One Little Sound Fun with Phonics and Numbers - this is a fabulous CD to utilize, easy songs you can make your own and expand on for learning.
We have a lego play date at the Vancouver Community Library this afternoon.
Right now the boys are continuing with their individual experiments from the kitchen - spices are the theme.
