I've been eyeing this activity, Equilibrio, forever! Using "18 sturdy, precisely cut, solid plastic blocks, your children build the structures illustrated. Each successive structure is more complex to build and more difficult to balance, requiring the use of fine motor skills, creativity and perseverance. As an educational bonus, while accomplishing these tasks, children will subconsciously be experimenting with basic concepts of geometry and balance." (from Timberdoodle)
I built the base of this structure and then F crawled up on the table and "helped" me finish the top. She is already very interested in stacking blocks.
Who is more scared? F wasn't scared at all. She kept trying to hit the side of the tank while saying, "Spi' walk?" We think Fuzzy is getting ready to molt, so she will be even bigger! We have never actually witnessed a molting because Fuzzy lived in A's room. M is pretty nervous about having the tarantula out where curious kids could take the lid off. He is right to be worried; Fuzzy is a dangerous creature. But the lid is locked and even I have trouble getting it apart.
