Plethora of Potato Heads


     Here's Madison at play with her Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head toys.  It's a great tool for learning - Madison knows where to put the eyes, the nose, the ears and the shoes.  She calls out each by name as she puts each part where it belongs.  

     But who are we kidding?  It's fun too.  Mommy and Daddy have been collecting Potato Head parts years before we met Madison, amassing this collection of arms, legs, mouths, noses and more.  We've been collecting these bits so that one day, our little girl could play with the Mr. Potato Head parts.  Okay, you caught us:  It's so we could play too, of course!  Daddy spent the afternoon making Princess Potato Heads and Picasso Potato Heads.  The Pirate ones are good too.

     Down at Disney World in Orlando, they have a variety of parts you can pick up that are related to all sorts of characters.  For example, Madison is holding in her hands a Tinkerbell Potato Head.  A Mr. Incredible Potato Head spits his tongue out at us, and of course, still boxed behind her are a few others, from Indiana Jones to R2D2.  Note:  there's one to the right in an official Disney rain slicker for when it rains!

     On the extreme left is Madison's most recent creation, Mr. Cyber Potato Head.  He's essentially a normal Mr. Potato Head, except his right arm is black, robotic and carries a lightsaber.  Oh, and he's riding on Dumbo.  But other than that, he's normal.

Madison, those glasses are for Mrs. Potato Head!
