Easter presents

Rachel charged me with finding some inexpensive Easter presents for Matthew. There are few things that Dad does better than toys! I picked out

  • A small frisbee. Matthew hasn't figured out throwing with the wrist but he gets a kick out of throwing it with Dad anyway.
  • A nerf missile launcher: put the missile on the launcher and give it a pump; the air pressure pushes the missile off. Since it's a direct-fire system (unlike his crossbow where clocking it loads a spring) Matthew can only shoot it 10 feet at most, but he thinks that's fantastic.
  • A play-doh "factory." We haven't let him open this yet because of the mess potential but we will probably play with it tomorrow morning while Rachel sleeps in. I think he will like it.
  • Silly putty: easily the most popular toy. He loves it. Even kept him quiet (for Matthew) during church. Huge hit.

Play-Doh is the ultimate toy. It's an art project! It's a building material! It's a hair-care product, a projectile weapon, and a non-toxic bedtime snack!
