My biggest girl loves the tiniest toys. Squinkies, Busy Books, Disney figurines of all kinds are her playthings of choice most days. She also has a huge affinity for stuffed animals, but it does not rival her love of itty bitty plastic things. This wanna-be-Montessori mama would love to have nothing but high-quality, open-ended, natural-material playthings neatly lining our shelves, but it is just not to be for this kid. Thankfully, she likes organization as much as I do, so most of them have homes they return to after playtime. She can't have Peter Pan, Eeyore, and Cinderella mixing it up (unless, of course, you are pretending that Eeyore is the horse from Cinderella, or one of Pan's Lost Boys).
One day, when she has outgrown playing with these much loved toys, I hope to
transform a few into ornaments or something similar. For now, I enjoy watching her create entire worlds with her animals, princesses, pirates, and such (even if they are brightly colored plastic).
