I just got the pink tower for my 3.5 year old daughter and the pink cubes *are themselves* people, in her mind. She has sorted them into two "families"...and plays with them as if they are getting into two cars (complete with a big "mummy block" strapping a little block into her car seat!). Some blocks are boys and some are girls...she has at one time arranged the blocks in order of size...but otherwise...she prefers this pretend play! What would Montessori say to this...in my reading of her lately it is stressed that children prefer the real to the pretend. <BR/><BR/>And by the way... I have only skimmed here lately but have gathered that you know more than you did a while back about your child in utero -- children, that is!! Congrats on the coming of your twins....southerncrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909039186413217295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31724953.post-3430262114072521442008-03-21T10:56:00.000-07:002008-03-21T10:56:00.000-07:00Joshua has Yoda, like from Star Wars!
