Preschool activity FTW. Ingredients: masking tape, carpet. I got up this morning with a moment of intense inspiration. While Isla was eating breakfast and Miles was doing baby stuff, I took a roll of masking tape that was sitting nearby and taped off the floorplan for an entire town on the carpet. There is a city park, apartment complexes, government housing, and the upper west side. It's pretty rad. Isla took her cars, actiion figures and dolls and made a whole fictional story for the town. It was presided over by the Goblin King from "Labyrinth" who had taken Ariel the mermaid hostage and everyone in town was too scared to do anything about it. This led to the emergence of a new superhero "Flyman" (Who in reality was an old power ranger villain from a thrift store). This paragon of justice not only rescued Ariel, but flew around giving Dora rides to Diego's house, and opening My Little Pony's locked front door. Then, in a moment of charity, he started a school only for the Goblin King to teach him "how to be a good town guy." This was by far the best received thing I've tried to do for Isla's entertainment - it was a good 4 hours plus, and still going strong.
