I have seen similar set ups at children's museums and my kids were entertained for maybe 15 minutes.<br /><br />On the other hand, as kids my sisters and I assembled an entire play grocery store using cans opened upside down, resealed empty cardboard food boxes, washed milk bottles, and monopoly money. We used dress-ups to attire ourselves as grown up shoppers and cashiers. We spent every day for months building our grocery store inventory and repurposing items as carts, shelves, cash registers, etc. It was incredibly absorbing and entertaining for us.<br /><br />What this enterprise fails to realize is that it's the conceiving and building of an imaginary world that offers the most creative fun for kids. Not playing in a fake world with pre-set parameters. Watch any group of children engaged in imaginative play and see how much longer they spend setting up the game as opposed to playing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-23275253649663931462011-04-21T04:26:24.823-04:002011-04-21T04:26:24.823-04:00There are so many things to remember and they do s...There are so many things to remember and they do slip your mind after a while.

What happened to the days of playing in the garden and using your imagination? Kids nowadays need to remain kids for as long as they can...they're growing up too fast already.poehttp://ocbudget.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-56442273342967290622011-04-15T20:46:54.418-04:002011-04-15T20:46:54.418-04:00Maybe as a one-time treat.
