Make Time For Make-Believe

I think childhood should be full of wonder.  Mine was, and that's what I want for my children now.  One of my new favorite things comes from a French toy company called Moulin Roty.  I found these in the Toy Place at Bellevue Art & Frame just before Christmas, and couldn't wait to show them to Hayden and Sylvia.  They are beautiful paper shadow puppets - nine total in this fairy tale collection - each on their own little stick.  Just add a white sheet and a flashlight, and your children can perform a show of their own.  It's a great way to stretch their imaginations and story-telling skills.

Here are a few images from tonight's show (performed in Hayden's room).  Sylvia leaned into the light in one shot, and I think that's wonderful.
