Just this past week we too have been making sculptures out of the clock pieces along with nails, nuts, bolts, screws etc. Once the children finish them week post about it!<br />Donna :) :)Play for Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475920387209134195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-67624683413550700562010-11-02T12:20:11.672-07:002010-11-02T12:20:11.672-07:00I love seeing an "Ah ha" moment in a chi...I love seeing an "Ah ha" moment in a child's face.
