Did the Plan Nuts and Bolts get played with? We’ve had ours for three years and I’m still the only person to play with them.

Also, I’ve been eying the tub tunes… were those worth buying?

Wanted to also pass along:

Plan toys Castle… not all wood… I was disappointed to find that the gray walls are foam… which means easy to destroy for my two boys.

Jumping Shapes (http://tinyurl.com/27t4f4) absolutely the coolest shape sorter I’ve ever seen. My 3 yo and 1yo loved it, as do I! If you push fast enough the shapes pop up into the air and you can try to catch them. Sturdy and fun!

Stacking Cups were much smaller than I thought… no where near the size of stacking boxes.

Twig Blocks… the favorite gift so far… really open-ended, I love them as much as the boys! So much more than just a block set.

Just now my two year old son woke out of a deep sleep crying because he didn't have his Batman guy. So, we searched and found that all important action figure. He previously was completely uninterested in security blankets or stuffed animals, now we can't get him to take off his Batman cape or let go of his action figure. I say action figure to differentiate it's not stuffed, but made of plastic. If it was stuffed it would still be a doll regardless of the fact that he's a boy.
