My kids love Greek myths and the retellings of them are an often-requested read-aloud. The other day, my husband and I were at Toys R Us and, as usual, went to the
Playmobil and
Lego mystery figure bags. My husband is incredibly good at using his "Feel-O-Vision" and getting the characters he wants. I don't think he has ever been wrong when he decides a bag is worth buying. This time, though, I was the one who found the cool character. I felt and felt and was pretty sure that I had found the Minotaur we'd been looking for. After we bought is, I opened it and I WAS RIGHT! SCORE!
As soon as I revealed it to the children, my son, Jack, asked if he could play with it. He promptly created this:
I'm counting it as a narration!
If you want to read the story that goes along with this playset, read one of these great books:
