I did these with my 21 month old. It was a lot of fun! He figured out how to do it right away.

I wish this didn't focus so much on just computer type technology. My husband is a geek Dad, but he is also geeky in his like for hands on projects such as model-making and tinkering. He is more likely to make a robot out of junk around the house for our son than to play a computer game with him.

My son is one and a half and his bedroom is right off of our kitchen. His room is baby-proofed, and he will play in there by himself quite often. My husband and I will peek in on him while we are making dinner or whatever and he'll be sitting there, looking at books or playing with toys contentedly. He is not always this self-sufficient...all kids have needy/clingy days, and of course we also play with him a lot. But I guess my point is that not all kids won;t play alone till older.

Also, I totally agree with BadJuJu77. Not everyone has a big house with a separate playroom. We live in a 2 bedroom apartment, and my son's bedroom has to be the playroom. We have a few baskets of toys in the living room too, but we cannot really fit more in there. As long as it is all kept (mostly) tidy, I don't see why this would be an issue. I think the key is finding a creative way to incorporate it all.

Oh my gosh! I am freaking out over here! I am a Mom, an artist, AND a barista, and this looks like heaven to me. Huge kudos and admiration!
