My 3-year-old is a little drill sergeant. She never lets her menagerie of stuffed animals get out of step. If they are not properly arranged on her bookshelf, she stops whatever she’s doing to straighten them out. A mother’s dream–or worst nightmare? Of course, it wasn’t always like this. Ordered chaos was fine by her when she was younger and just learning to play with her toys. When she stacked up her blocks in her earlier days, she’d quickly knock them down again and again, her chubby little hands toppling them over and clapping in sheer delight at her mastery of cause and effect. Fast forward to the present and this preschooler is all about order. People near and dear to me say her obsession is all my doing, but I haven’t the faintest idea of what they’re talking about. What I do know is, were she a baby today, how much she would have loved the Skip Hop Animal Zoo Stack & Stick Animals. No matter how you stack these adorable plush creatures, they stay in place. We love them for their eye-catching design and ultra-soft bodies–ideal for the most “destructive” little builders (you know the ones we mean). Now, please excuse me while I fix my bookshelf. A few titles seem to be out of alphabetical order…
In a Nutshell: Blocks that stay together, no matter how you stack them.
