For those of us with kids of an age where parents are still helpful and gladly seen play props, weekends are the prime play days. As I tend to be the first responder on weekend mornings, allowing my wife some richly deserved downtime, this means lots of Lego, toy trains, etc. (painting and doll role play being more my wife's role). 

And naturally the odd watch enters the play, too. Here some examples...

Btw. any of you in a similar situation? Got pictures to share?














Have a great Sunday!

Adorable pics!

The first one is a classic. We have the same train set, and my 3.5yo is currently deep "into" trains. Enjoy your playtime and this is a perfect way to get the little ones into our hobby as well. (My little man can say "unidirectional bezel" AND knows what it is! I'm very proud ๐Ÿ˜Š)

Itโ€™s not a joke! My 5y old son really plays with these gears. May be one day he will make a watch for his vintage father ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thatโ€™s funny because we have the same little red watering can at home than the one on your second shot. Perfect for the bath ๐Ÿ˜ Best wishes Alkiro
