Fishing Lures and Yarn

It is amuses me how a few interesting and simple (but new) things in a child's world will spark creativity to a new height for hours.

The kids have discovered that a box of squishy, colorful, hookless fishing lures, and a couple of large balls of fun yarn with a scissors, go a long way in the entertainment department. You would think that they might pretend to go fishing with all of those items. That connection has yet to be made.

Instead the kids have:

Created a game to see how many rooms the string can unwind through (upstairs and down)...Made new "friends" with the lures...Jack has found cutting string into bits to be easier practice for scissor use than cutting paper.

The "cause" is, we have never had lures or yarn in our house until now. The "effect" is, there are lures and string everywhere!
