Iowa | I need to get a birthday gift for a one year old girl, an urban relative three generations removed from the farm. She is a bright and socialable child and probably has everything she needs. I'd like to get her something that provides a connection to her rural roots (the real world). One thing I've noticed, even with people who've grown up on a farm and moved away is how quickly many seem to become out of touch with all that makes their sheltered lives in suburbia possible. The gift does not have to be farm related (I got her a nice stuffed pig earlier), but maybe something that will teach her about why putting a square peg in a round hole does not work. Somethng that would teach about how things really work in a real, physical sense would be good. This is a family of Ivy League MBAs, so they are not often directly exposed to that sort of learning. <grin> Any ideas? I'm very much out of touch with little girl stuff.
