Lisa of Two Bears Farm and I were talking about our “allergy boys”. Cort one of Lisa’s three sons has allergies similar to JDaniel. Cort has to spend a lot of time inside during the spring and has needed to get the allergy tests done just like my little guy. We thought it would be fun to put together an “Allergy Boys” exchange for them. Each would get a box of fun things to explore and play with on days when they need to be inside. Both boys would rather be outside, but it is not always possible.

JDaniel and I had fun putting a box together for Cort. Cort is almost two and so I tried to get things he could do on this own as well as things he could do with his mom and older brother. I hoped he would also share them with his twin brother.

We got the following:

Foam Dots

The dots could be used to create patterns, sort by colors, used to leap from spot to spot, or stuck to the wall of the bathtub when wet to give them bathtub pox.

Magnetic Alphabet Letters in a Puzzle

I thought they could be used to practice letters or find matching letters on the Thomas the Train placemat we also included.

A Fire Truck Craft Kit

JDaniel loves fire trucks I hoped Cort would like making one.

A Sound Wand

This could be used as a marching baton, to practice rolling, or to shake and whirl to make noise.

Water Balls

These balls are designed to be played with in water. I thought he could try to make baskets in the tub or sink with them.

Robot Stickers

They are such fun to stick on things. Hopefully in just mom approved locations

Purple Metal Box

Things can be hidden the box and clues given as to what is under the box lid.

Books

Two board books that were favorites of JDaniel when he was two.

A Purple Silicone Egg Mold

I found it at Hobby Lobby for 90% off. Lisa and I are both Muffin Tin Moms. I stuck in the box more for her that for Cort.

JDaniel has loved exploring his box from Two Bears Farm. Here are a few pictures of things he has played with so far:

JDaniel loves giving the creatures from his haircut kit crew cuts.

JDaniel loved sticking the facial features in a mango. He spend what seemed like an hour trying different eyes, noses, mouths, and horns in each of the holes I put in the mango.

What other indoor activities would you suggest for our “allergy boys”?

This post is linked to Mrs. Matlock’s Alphabe Thursday. It is “E” week.

Rescue Bunnies by Doreen Cronin and Scott Menchin is JDaniel’s new favorite book. It is about a Newbie bunny and her field test to become a rescue bunny. Newbie and her team are sent out to save a giraffe that has become stuck in the mud in hyena country and desperately needs help. Due to the fact that the bunnies are going to hyena country, Newbie is told that they may have a code red situation. In a code red it is time to evacuate and leave the giraffe behind.

You can probably guess what happens. Yes, they issue a code red, but Newbie won’t leave the giraffe behind. She ties herself to the giraffe and the other bunnies have no choice, but to save both of them.

Throughout the story various rescue bunnies utter lines from old movies. I thought it would be fun to see if you recognized any of these old movie lines.

Please list the lines and the movies that you remember in your comment. I will list the answers on Saturday.

Here we go:

1.“I am serious…and don’t call me Shirley.”

2.“You can’t handle the truth!”

3.“Nothing is going to hurt you tonight. Not on my watch.”

4.“You had me at hello.”

5.“Snap out of it.”

6.“I’m King of the World”

7.“Here’s looking at you,kid.”

Do you remember any of these?

Today is “B” day on Mrs. Matlock’s Alphabe Thursday.
