In Line

All these characters were in line for ice cream at the Cold Treats Stand.  The King was buying.  The people in the back had a long wait, and at $5.00 per ice cream cone, the final total was, well, exorbitant.  The Cold Treats Stand offered even more than 31 delicious flavors.

Even though everyone has probably outgrown these Little People toys by most standards, and they take up a lot of space to store, I keep them around still.  Once or twice a winter they are pulled out, it seems, and so much fun is had.  All the pieces are divided up and distributed, and so much imaginative play follows.  I can only handle the mess of them taking over the family room for a few days at a time, but you should have seen how nicely the younger kidlets played together for days.  I love that multiplication problems made their way into the fun.  Pencils and paper were even used to figure out the commerce.   Maybe next time they’ll add in tax?
