wedgits, kaplas, regular blocks

counting bear, tangagrams(sp?) lacing beads, lacing cards, magnetic dress dollthings, scoops, bins, bean/rice, sandbox, bubbles, chalk, crayons, colorbooks, pencils etc, playdough cutters etc. oh and puzzles

I will be getting some play silks

Am I missing something? What could I add.

Also, thinking into the future, I have Abeka handbooks for reading with charts and books. being unsure what the future may bring (I am optimistic but feel to better safe...) what math curriculum would you have on had. we have books to cover, history, science reading and writing skills. I have flash cards and all the above items what would you add? TIA sorry if this sounds rambley to much caffience :D:001_huh::tongue_smilie:

Lauri tall stacker pegs building set (actually all three of my guys like this)

a "fishing type puzzle", his is a tow truck instead of a rod and picks up cars that are different colors and have numbers on them

colored sorting bowls to go with the counters

a primary bucket balance

coins and a small non breakable bank he can continually fill and empty

Rainbow Resources has an oversized dry erase type number line we've gotten a lot of use out of, not only for basic math, but he likes to line up his pet counters on each number, or sit it on a box and catapult things - LOL.

the kitchen play doh set is the all time favorite play doh set here
