Asher has a couple of DUPLO sets that he loves so much, not just building/pulling apart but for small world play too.
He is showing great interest in moon and space, and thinks that astronauts are super cool!
So I set up this play station to encourage him to express himself, and opened up his favourite moon books to start story telling. I made some black coloured rice, moon rockS and he built the LEGO DUPLO space shuttle set from scratch. I love how every DUPLO sets that we have would feature a man and a woman figurine, because girls can be anything that they want to be too - police officer, firefighter, astronauts and so on.
He enjoyed landing on the moon surface and said yay Neil Armstrong (lol), exploring and collecting moon rock samples. Eventually, he smashed all the moon rock with a little hammer lol.
