 The director of Museum School told me at the beginning of December that the girls loved these “Straws and Connectors.” She got some out of the classroom for me to look at and I realized that this would be an awesome gift for the girls. I told Papa and Grandma Brooke about it and suggested that they get the jumbo set so they could build some big things. They have had a lot of fun with it, but they hadn’t really tried anything big until the other night. Nadia told me that they decided they were going to build a tent and they got to work.

They were making great progress before Mike and I started helping.

This turned out really cool, but it was very fragile. The next morning Nadia wanted to try something a little more stable and I told her to get the instructions out. Mike started looking at it with her and they decided to try another one.

The final product with a sheet on top to be more like a tent. What a great gift! I highly recommend them for your kids.
