I'm just wondering if you all have any advice for a newbie unschooling mommy of 2 .. I have a 6 yr old art loving daughter and 5 yr old little boy who loves to pretend.

here is a little back round: For a 2 month period we put my daughter in to school Kindergarten just to see .. ALL I saw a big mistake and pulled her out ASAP. so from NOV 09 until know we have been on the adventure of unschooling. but i feel a little lost.

so I would love some advice or thoughts .. thanks for your time :)

My kids LOVE playing pretend at 7 and 4 and I am always looking for the plush toys they like to play with.
This week I got them ( from e-bay) 7 of the Sonic the Hedgehog toys.
We also have Super Mario, Luigui and some other characters and also a bunch of Pikmin.
I record Saturday mornings Sonic cartoons and  find Mario cartoons for them.
Gigi has many dress up clothes , mostly presents or thrift store buys for very little.
Do you helpo them find great pretend play props and scenarios?
We gave MD a video camera for making movies with his toys that he uploads to his YouTube channel and he also loves binders and paper to draw stories and make books.
