Is Your Toy Collection Complete?
6-MAR-2008:
Dominic's nursery does a show-and-tell every week and children are required to bring in a toy with a particular attribute - for example, a red toy, or a square toy - depending on the subject of the day. I doubt that Dominic is capable of showing an object and describing it but I guess when he sees other older children doing it, he might be able to imitate to a certain degree.
Although Dominic's collection of toys is quite massive, it was really nothing compared to Noah's. Therefore, I sometimes find it quite a challenge selecting a toy for his show-and-tell session. The show-and-tell criteria is pretty straight-forward so if you do not have a toy that fits the criteria, you can't help thinking that your toy collection is not complete. :-)
If you do not have a toy that features the heart shape, your collection is not complete.
If none of your toys features purple (which means a majority area of the toy has to be purple, not just a small patch), then your collection needs to be "updated".
If you don't have a toy that has the number "1" on it, you need to add that to your collection.
Well, I'm thinking some kids don't even bother to bring in their show-and-tell item but Dominic always does ... until such time when mummy isn't able to find a toy in Dominic's collection that matches the show-and-tell criteria.
