A new use for Colorforms

My daughter Ally has several Colorforms sets, but after awhile sticking them on to the same cardboard scene gets a little boring. And one day Ally went over and stuck her Colorforms on the living room window and came up with a new way to play.

Now I let Ally play with her Colorforms on one of our living room windows whenever she wants. It’s such a simple and easy idea but it has made the same old Colorforms new and exciting again for Ally. Now she makes up stories as she arranges them on the window – combining her Dora the Explorer Colorforms with her Fancy Nancy and Thomas the Tank Engine Colorforms. 

The only drawback is the finger smudges on the window, but let’s face it, they would have been there anyway. 

I always make Ally take down her Colorforms when she’s done playing, mainly because I don’t know how they would do sitting in the hot sun of the window all day.
