Rats

Last month I bought some small stuffies from IKEA.  They fit all my criteria for good playroom toys;

• Small enough that I can have several of them in the room
• Not too small for the infants and toddlers
• Inexpensive – they cost just $15 for all six of them
• And most importantly – can be used in a variety of ways

Since they were first introduced into the playroom they have been popular with all the children.
They were used during dramatic play in the housekeeping area – as a food source;

They went on adventures.  This one is having a bath;

They frolicked in the field in the nature area;

The toddlers are impressed by the convenient ‘handles’;

And of course they are great to cuddle up with when reading a story;

Great connection to the book she chose too
