Toys for Pagan Kids!

Kids need great books, fun games, and engaging toys to grow on.  I think these three categories can be small when they contain with the right stuff but are often found BIG, stuffed with Stuff that has been outgrown or never touched. It all depends on your kid(s). Here I give you their recommendations:

1: Evaluate your kid’s use of their things. Surely some things have been outgrown. But what is it about that toy that is meant for a much younger/older child that your child likes so much? This is identifying a need if you want to use Montessori terminology. It’s the same concept as if your toddler is spreading their apple sauce all over the table.  You might see them making a mess with their food but actually, the food just provides them with paint.  There is also the possibility that your child needs to be taught a new way to play with the tool, I mean toy.

2: Pass along that which is not being used. Remember the toy he once loved that is now never touched, is like a dead leaf on a plant: it once helped him grow but now is just cluttering up the stem. Remove it.

3: Spend your money and your time cleaning up toys that teach, encourage, and develop your child into the beautiful person they’re growing to be. Note – Not who
