Why Does This Drive Me So Nuts!?

[WImom]

I HATE our Little People buses and trucks. YOu know the ones that are bigger? All the kids do with them is build a simple tower with our cardboard bloacks and then go around that in circles around the room with them. I guess it just annoys me that at their ages (3-4y) we could be a little more productive with them and that they take up alot of room and get in the way of others. I already have the rule they must be on their knees thinking it would get boring but it hasn't.

I feel bad that it annoys me. I have suggested ways to play and show them but the next day it's back to the same. I wonder if I should make those our new outside toys and they can do it to their hearts content then. (It only bugs me inside).

I hear ya! I actually had to take mine out of play for a while. They were crashing them into each other and getting hurt.

My dck's are almost 1 1/2, 2, and 2 1/2 yo's. They LOVE the Little People vehicles. I have several so there are enough for everyone. It is one of the few things they actually play "together". They haven't started crashing them into each other yet...maybe that is coming next year when they are all around 3 yo.
