Toys in Motion

All four of my grandsons love anything with wheels on it. We have bins and bins of vehicles, big and small: cars, trucks, fire trucks, hot wheels, construction vehicles, trains, remote controlled cars, Lego cars, Magformer cars, Zoob cars, ride-on cars--we have hundreds of toys with wheels on them in our home. The fascination with things that move starts very young:

Other toys that move that dominate our toy collection are balls. We don't have as many balls as we have vehicles, but we have quite a few and they are often in motion in our home. Swords are another type of motion toy. We have a lot of swords and still the boys want more. For Christmas opa and I gave light sabers to Lincoln and Evan because I was tired of hearing all the complaints when the little ones borrowed their older siblings' light sabers.

Boys like toys that are meant to be pushed, shoved, thrown, kicked, swung, or otherwise put in motion. It is better that they do this to a toy than to their brother!
