Building with Corn

Chicken pox, round 2, and my daughter had a brilliant idea on what a toddler can do with the PlayMais together with a parent, which I added to the end of the post.

It was not quite free, not even cheap but also not expensive. We tried these last summer on a kids festival, I liked them, and as I’ve mentioned before, I like to give time as a part of my present to my kids. This was a Christmas present to our kids aiming for us to have something fun to do together.
