K'nex - a modern toy of little bits of plastic that connect (get it?). You can follow instructions to create models or go it alone. Our fella tends to do the former, though he is starting to have the confidence to tinker. We have a delux model that comes with a small motor that can whiz the lawn mower "blade" around or spin a ferris wheel. Cool. I really get into it too.
He loves it for 3 or 4 days and then leaves it for 3 or 4 weeks.

Just so you know, I do follow your blog and love to read about and see what you guys are up to. Thanks for taking the time to do it!
I hope you are all well (and that you have a good time and don't work too hard) in Geneva. I'm also spying on you on Facebook! :-)
Mary, did you resolve to be more appreciative in 2010? It was very kind to take the time to send your message. I do enjoy "creating" the blog most weeks. It does take time however. That might be due to my lack of "techi-ness".
Thanks for the tip on K'Nex. A similar item for the 3-5 age range is "Trio" by Fisher Price. Part of Leo's Xmas bounty, it's a great gift which he hasn't put down. Very sturdy large-ish plastic pieces easily snap into myriad shapes. When he's sleeping, I play with it. I cheat and peek at the book, then pretend I whipped up an amazing pirate ship or fire-breathing dragon all on my own.
Lynn, you mean you stay awake after Leo is in bed? I am impressed.
