Our ever increasing resources

I've been on a buying splurge recently (mostly picked up second hand - yay!). I've really been mindful of having on hand various reference type books on many topics (a children's picture dictionary, history, general books on facts/inventions/people) and buying kids classics as I see them. Both kids love to just pick one out of the bookcase and have a flick through and look at all the pictures. Nathan then asks about what interests him.

Games - I've recently been purchasing games for Nathan in the "next" age up range and he received a few for Christmas to add to our existing collection.

Pentominoes
Dominoes
Geoboard
Shapes game
Jigsaw puzzles
Whoosit
Junior Scrabble
Card games: fish, old maid
Where in the world is Carmen San diego (geography)
Let's Shop (trading, buying, selling)
Harvest Time (a gardening game that includes seasons)
Connect Four

Other things we have that are around to be used as wanted and get used frequently (some things like the train track and wooden blocks might not get touched for a few months and then when they do get them out that's all that gets played with for a week).

Cuisenaire rods
Art supplies (glue, paint, paper, crayons/pencils, pencil sharpeners, brushes, rulers)

And then there are the many daily life things that we do...

Looking after the garden, taking care of our dog and chickens, cooking meals and baking, helping out around the house, visiting friends and family, playing at the park and the beach, attend playcentre a few times a week and heaps of other things.
