Peg Fun

I purchased Tall Stacking Pegs (made by Lauri) for the grandchildren last spring. I did not find them at a garage sale, but purchased them for full price at an upscale children's store. OUCH! At first the children were not that interested in the pegs and I was disappointed. It's so much easier to shrug off a dud $3 (or less!) garage sale purchase than it is to shrug off a $40 misbuy at a boutique store.

But then they discovered that you can put the pegs in long, long stacks and use them as swords or anchor them in the holes in their play table. Suddenly peg play became a regular event.

Pegs are one of the few toys that Viva joins the boys to play for an extended period of time. The kitchen and its toys are another. Viva does not like playing very much with the cars or trains or airplanes. All three like puzzles.
