when he was four we found a nice old one, not too expensive, and brought
it home. We lived in such a little house we had to put the sofa in the
back of the truck to fit the piano in the living room. Dylan loved it.
He's taken lessons on and off, when we found nice teachers and could
afford it. He plays everyday still and he's nine now.
He still really loves a lap harp we found at a second hand store.
He loves his kicking bag and tumbling mat. The tumbling mat doubles as a
sky watching mat.
He loves the Playstation.
Lego's.
When vector control was selling off their old equipment and getting new,
his uncle bought him a very nice, used microscope. This is really
wonderful. He uses it at least once a day, to look at rocks especially.
It sits permanently on the dining room table with egg cartons of rocks
and minerals and petrified wood.
He loves maps.
Paints and drawing stuff.
Books.
Yatzeeh, Set, Cribbage and Mancalla.
Puzzles and math puzzle books and maze books.
Stuffed animals.
The quilt my mom made when he was born.
Boxes. He likes to put stuff in boxes. When he's older I know he'll
want a truck so he can *haul* stuff around.
He collects six pack rings, used dryer sheets and screwdriver bits. I
can't even begin to tell you why.
He has some bugs he keeps in my butter dish who died of natural causes.
(as far as we could tell )
Godzilla movies and Godzilla toys.
Anything morbid. He has a replica skull. Some sticky internal organs.
Some severed body parts. Some squishy eyeballs.
This is just some of his favorite cool stuff.

There is a company that makes Jello molds in the shape of internal organs.
These went over great at various nursing school lunches!
I don't have a website but I bet if you serched google for Jello/Gelatin
Brain Molds youd get hits!
Elissa, who will soon be singing
Yippee - Kai - Yay!

It sits out and I'm hoping I'll get interested in it. I think it would be nice to use if I knew more of what to do with it.

grows in it. Mosquito larvae are very squirmy. If you live by a pond or
stream that's even better.
Fabric can be really interesting and different kinds of paper and even
pictures from magazines.
If they like make up that might be cool. I've never looked, but I hear
lipstick has fish scales in it ( is that true?) so you could go on a
fish scale hunt. ( can you se them?) THAT'S gross!
Carolina Biological supply has a cool forensics kit, it's classroom size,
but when I asked them to they sold us a scaled down version. Edmund
Scientific has really nice prepared slides. Well, the textile slides
are, anyway.
Moldy bread is cool. We find neat stuff when I clean out the 'fridge.
Yeast is fun. ( bread yeast that is )
Fruit.
Maybe raw meat? I never looked at that either. eeew.
We had a friend send us snake skins and BIG bugs from Arkansas.
