What Did You Have When You Started?

Mostly Waldorf toys. Her blocks are wood, her dolls I've made. Most of her toys were DIY like her felt animals, peg dolls, wool gnomes and felt food.

Whenever friends kids cOme over they don't know what to do with her toys and proclaim boredom.

I like that. My little ones are learning imagination now--I'm finding it's a skill that they have to learn. (22 months). Once I invited them to a few tea parties, they caught on and have the funniest gatherings around the table. ::

Before I started daycare and lost all of my free time, I made toys to sell on Etsy. Unfortunately, I sold all of them and am having to make more to keep for daycare. It's a slow process-there just aren't enough hours in the day.

When I started my youngest was 2 and the oldest was 9. I just used what I had. Over the years I have added as needed. I have gone from a stay at home mom doing this to make ends meet to this is my job and I need xyz to make it better (for me and the kids.) I think less is best.
