I try to provide my children with a variety of learning tools and toys at home. We cook together and do art projects. I scour magazines and children's online resources to purchase the learning toys that are fun and educational. The following conversation occurred between Christian and myself this weekend:
Christian: Mom? How much allowance do I have?
Mom: At the end of this month, you will have _______ amount of dollars.
Christian: Mom? How much do boxes cost?
Mom: Not very much. In fact you can gather them up and get them free some places. Why?
Christian: Because I'm thinking I'll spend all of my allowance on boxes. They are fun!
My point? Spend time, energy and a lot of money on the best educational toys for your children, and they play with empty boxes. Go figure.
