Hours of play were focused on the creation of K'nex masterpieces [alas the photos were deleted:( ]. These masterpieces were incredible crossbow weapons, outfitted with the capability of projecting missiles for a great distance. Calculations and corrections and alterations raged for days.
What can I say, it really was a special moment.
Poetry - We enjoyed reading various poems from the
Oxford Treasury of Children's Poems. I love it when we find old favourites and the older children chime in reciting the poems from memory. Another delight is when a child appropriates a poem for pertinent moments, such as
Mr Nobody, often a relevant poem;)
