One Christmas many years ago my dad or "Santa" at the time got me my very own science set. Now I was pretty young so it was basic science stuff, but to me it was the coolest thing ever. I would play with that science set every single day, in my mind I was on my way to discovering some sort of new element that would make people fly. In reality I was putting baking soda and vinegar in a bottle and making a balloon expand.
As a mom I want to give my kiddos those same kinds of gifts, one that they will play with over and over again. Or even ones where they can learn to do new tricks. Ones that allow them to use their imagination.
That is why I am pretty impressed with Uncle Milton's toys this holiday season.
