Elsanomics

Yes, Elsanomics is "Elsa Economics". As some of you know, Elsa is a very social little person. She has not mastered the ability to play independently. This is somewhat taxing on parents when their daughter needs constant interaction. Elsa loves people, talking, doing things with other people, waving to strangers, painting with other people, cooking with other people, etc.

Due to this social need, we have discovered some "Elsanomics" about toy/activity purchases. We rate our toys based on how much time Elsa spends playing with them independently. An economically sound purchase is one where we get one hour of independent play per $1 spent. For example, if we spend $10 on a toy, we deem it a sound purchase if we get 10 hours of independent play from that toy.

This is Elsa playing with a magnetic dress up "Cinderellie" Cost=$1 at Michael's. Time spent playing with it= around 1 1/2 hrs. Audra found this toy. Good Job!!!
