It's a Jungle Out There

When you're only 33" tall, Nana's garden is practically a jungle.

Here we see a wall of vines, perfect for Little Man to valiantly fight his way through using his stick...er, mighty sword to reach the other side and rescue Small Dog, who is obviously trapped there on her comfy rug and NEEDS assistance.

High above Little Man looms the Birdie Motel 6. This is a fascinating object for Little Man, as it is on the biggest stick ever and birds shoot out of it and make him laugh. Not a day goes by that he doesn't give it a good shake, just in case.

The Jungle is full of colorful and fascinating objects like these. Are they funny looking plants? They're coming out of the ground, they might be. Much research has been done to figure out what these are--poking with sticks, a good tap with a broom, even the occasional venture off the sidewalk to touch and feel. At press time, Little Man is still unsure of the exact purpose of these baubles, but they are pretty awesome.

Sometimes plants grow in pots. And the pots are filled with dirt. So why shouldn't they be filled with other stuff, too? Like sand from the sandbox and water from the water table and small sticks and bits of leaves and...

Rocks! Glorious rocks that are excellent for putting in planters (see above) as well as pushing through the fence, collecting in pockets and throwing.

Oh, and for putting in here.

Transportation is a must-have when exploring the jungle. Little Man favors this rugged, off-roading push car. This compact model is also good for picking up and carrying around when bumps in the road are too big to drive over.

Lastly, it's always good to have a friend out in the jungle--you never know when you're going to need someone who has got your back. Little Man would like to introduce you to Nelson the Jungle Gnome. He doesn't say much, but he knows everything that goes on in the jungle. And he doesn't complain at all when Little Man colors on his face with sidewalk chalk.
