The boy is almost 5. Like his father, he has an insatiable love for cars, trucks, jeeps, semi trucks, really anything that has wheels. This whole world is new to me. I grew up with only sisters and loved all things girly. So when tiny toy cars started to appear, I thought “Oh cute.” Now, I swear to you, they are meeting up at night and reproducing faster than the Duggar family.

Late one night, in my insomnia induced Pinterest gazing, I came across this awesome idea. I’ll admit to you, since becoming a homeschooling/unschooling mama, anything that has even a minuscule chance at being educational I become obsessed with (I could talk for days about Legos). So when I saw this, I thought “Hot Damn Hotwheels!” I threw this together in about 30 minutes and he plays with it non-stop.

So the little mistake I made is that when he is looking at it the 2 is upside down. So, now he thinks that is what it is supposed to look like. Other than that, this 100% completely FREE toy has taught him to recognize numbers and learn their order.
