The Mayflower

At the beginning of November some dear friends gave the boys a Little People Mayflower play set. We have had more fun talking about the Pilgrims and Indians and reading books about the first Thanksgiving too. But mostly they have loved playing with the toy set.

It came with a little green flag that goes on top of the mast. The first thing they both do is pull the flag off and chew on it! They also really like the music that the boat plays and dance along. We set up the tables and people for the dinner, but the boys like to scatter the people and make them go on the boat. Another favorite part of the set is the pumpkin. They love to roll it along the ground and chew on it too. Hopefully next year we can have a "thankful" wreath and handprint turkeys, but for this Thanksgiving for our 15 month old angels, it's all about the Little People!Rylan putting the Pilgrim man to sleep on the boat.
Jacob, with green flag in hand, getting a plan for the best way to play this time!

My heart swells for Little People!! I'm so glad R & J are discovering--and enjoying--such a fun toy. I didn't even know FP made a Mayflower set--perfect!

The little Mayflower looks like fun. We have Noah's ark and Layton loves chewing on Noah. Happy Thanksgiving. Your boys are so sweet. It is hard to believe that they are already 15 months.
