A Tower of Learning

In the spirit of gifts that keep on giving, Daddy brought out a Christmas present that we hadn't opened yet. It was a set of blocks, and it is awesome.

Are you familiar with blocks? They are really good for both playing AND learning. In fact, Daddy has built quite a curriculum with the blocks

We study modern architecture (building towers) and ancient Egyptian architecture (building pyramids). We study physics, such as the principal that two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time, and that for every action there is a reaction. Example, if I throw a block at Sophie, she runs away.

We can study spelling, since the blocks have letters on them.

Finally, and most fun, we study gravity. If you knock the towers over, they fall down. Every time.
