Top Toys
Some toys that have remained popular with my 4 (boy and girls) from toddlerhood to tweens:
---Magnadoodle---Imaginarium foam blocks (can't hurt each other!)---playskool ball popper---Sit and Spin---PlasmaCar scooter---Mozart Magic cube---matchbox cars---homemade playdoh and flubber---Connect 4 (age 5 and up)---See and Say Kids Around the World (great for missionaries or churches), with songs and geo facts of many countries, but only a few left on Amazon)---Fisher Price dollhouse, manger scene---play kitchen.
As toddlers, they made simple houses with the blocks. Now they make robots, animals, and spaceships.
Which toys have stood the test of time with your kids?

HEB Survival--Fruit!
My latest favorite HEB survival technique helps me get both girls in the cart (Gianna, 4, isn't into the cart lately, but being very pregnant means an easier trip on mom if she is in the cart!) and keeps them happy for quite a while. Some of you may know this, but in the produce section there is a little red wagon with apples, bananas, and oranges in it. There is a box labeled $0.25...drop in a quarter per child, they pick out their fruit, and everyone is happy. Oh, and my requirement is that they have to ride IN the cart to eat their fruit :o)
Hope that helps someone!
