I honestly don't remember the last time Gerrick played with something in the house that he didn't create. He is constantly building things (usually inspired by Star Wars) from egg cartons and cardboard. He spends most all of his free time doing this and even often works on them while I am reading aloud to him. Lately he has begun to draw inspiration from the series Avatar: The Last Airbender as well. He puts great details in his creations by drawing with Sharpies and building compartments with working doors that hold weapons, etc. I don't usually blog about these toys and models because I just don't feel I can do them justice. He is considering making more videos like this one to share with others. But until then, here is a short video of him playing with his "Fire Nation Ship"--shooting fireballs at the cat.

That is perfect! And lovely to have a willing "playmate". :) Isn't it great to have kids who grab materials and make their own things?
ReplyDeleteMore proof of the goodness of homeschooling! Where else are children able to pursue their genius 24/7?
