I love that playhouse tent. That would be SO fun to make!
I actually have some of the soft blocks and young kids do really like them. The only way I can get older kids to play with them is to make them into a basketball type game. Thanks for the other ideas!
These are wonderful–bookmarking for this year’s birthday gifts!
Glad to find your blog.
