While most children I know enjoy playing outside, riding bikes, running around, my children like to play with animals.  They have a large box filled with small plastic animals.  We have horses, pigs, ducks, swans, wolves, goats, bears, turtles…you name the animal I am sure I could find one in the box.  Not only are the animals fun, but they have proven to be educational for us as well.  They enjoy staging various scenes.  Take a look.  Enjoy.
