Anything Everything TRAIN
Boys and their machines!
Matthew is totally fascinated with trains. Anything, everything can be a train. During meals, it would be a spoon or fork and he would push it round the table, along the edge of the placemat or table. It's the same with a straw. During bathtime, he would run his bath toy or empty bottle along the top of the tub and declare that that's a train.
Matthew has these bead toys, which I bought for $2 from Daiso. He would push the beads along the hard wire and keep repeating, "di4 tie3 dao4 le (MRT train, our local mass rapid transit rail, has arrived, in Mandarin)" and "di4 tie3 zhou3 le (MRT train has left)"....
So great is his imagination!
