Last year Gino told me about this new company that is creating toys for girls to get them thinking about other things besides being a “princess“.
Well, I’ve had my eye on the toys at Target and when I noticed they were all on clearance the other day. I bought all 3 kits.
Today with nothing else to really do, we got out our first kit: building a parade float (and other cool stuff).
The parts to our kit include: 1 book and miscellaneous building parts.
Her first words… “Oh, this looks interesting!”
After following along with the story in the book we come to our first project build:
a pageant/float seat.
Using the exact same pieces… Isabel’s seat is on the right and my seat is on the left.

She’s focused on her work.
She finished!
(this is just one of examples from the book)
I tried getting her come up with a different float idea, not in the book, but she didn’t want to, today, maybe tomorrow. The book also mentions adding a paper banners to the float and I know Isabel would be interested in doing that. She’s always cutting out things and assembling them into larger paper art projects. The ideas are endless!
