A Great Gift ...

Before school today I let Griffin open the Christmas gift his teachers Ms. Pat and Ms. Julie gave him.

I wasn't sure if he would know what it was ... but he knew right away it was a manifying glass.

He is a big fan of Sid the Science Kid and Sid often uses a magnifying glass to discover new things.


Here we find Griffin checking out the berries on the nandina ...


How about a closer look at those berries ...


And wow ... he could even check out the sky with his magnifying glass.

I have to say ... this is a GREAT gift idea for a child.

It allows his emagination to run free ...

Happy discovering little man.

I agree. What an awesome idea especially for a boy. I hope he will have lots of fun as he explores the world in a 'bigger way'.

now I must say tooo, tooo cute... I just think that is a great gift.... This summer it will be time for those cute little bug collectors.... I'm sure he will love that.... I'm thinking JoAnn had them last spring and I so wanted to buy one for myself... That was always a fun toy for me as a kid... And heck my dad even had to build me a cricket farm.. You know me though I love little creatures... Always have.... T

PS... I want to Thank you for the Chistmas Card... I got mine finished and Rusty mailed them today so yours should be there by the weekend or Monday....

What a great gift. And Griffin is really enjoying it. He will have lots of fun with it this spring as things start popping out of the ground (and with those icky bugs).

who said fun can't be educational----course wait til the Grif learns how to use his magnifying glass to focus the sun rays and burn holes in leaves, and start fires with!!!(lol)
