“The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.” Jean Jacques Rousseau

So this week at the hospital has been good.. It's been crazy but anything less would make the time pass slowly, which has not been a problem yet. So my assignment tomorrow is to shop! Yeahhhh!!... So I'm heading to wal mart to get a bunch of games/toys for the kiddos. So to all you mommies out there... Any suggestions? Kids favorites? Here are a few I'm planning on getting and why:

- candyland (good for counting and taking turns)
- sorry (rules and number i.d.)
- scrabble Jr. (words, letters, spelling, taking turns)
- charades (social skills)
- cards/Go fish/uno- (language, memory, attention)

So now that you get the idea, i'm also getting puzzles, strategy games, catch phrase jr, connect four, guess who, stuff like that.. I'll be getting stuff for the younger kids too like sound boards, mirrors, rattles to help figure out where they are developmentally but i'll also be looking for distraction toys for the treatment room like bubbles, loud toys, bright toys, i spy, where's waldo, etc.

All that to say, if you have any you can think of that you think might be a hit for the kids feel free to let me know!!

  1. Kas,

    I like your new blog look. Life is sweet, especially when you add a little chocolate!

    As for toys, games, etc. Standard toys like cars, dolls are always a sure hit. What about Mad Lib books? Also, Hi Ho Cherry O game would be a step up from Candy Land and maybe catch more of the younger boys but not as hard as Sorry. There's also play doh and play doh accessories that are easy entertainment. Have fun on your shopping trip! Mom
