Minimalists

It's crazy how a child can entertain themselves with only the bare essentials - a card board box, wooden spoons, a bucket, a beaded bracelet, you name it. And these can keep a child occupied for hours. What kid needs extravagant, expensive toys when all you really need are the basics, right? Parenting has never been so easy. I had a plastic tub tucked away in a closet for awhile, then I started using it to put the kids bath toys in it, then it became a mini swimming pool sensation. We don't need much to keep these guys smiling, and I couldn't be happier that I'm not being suckered or pressured into high dollar items. Phew! It's amazing how much fun our kids had with something so small.
