There's nothing more exciting than a living room full of wrapping paper, especially if you have a cat or two.
Maytag Box, Wooden Spoon and Metal Pot will always be king of the toys!
Somebody would get rich selling a box that would be a toy, when I was a kid your status in the neighborhood was how big your toybox was and who had the most technical toys, hint to my age, hot tech was erector sets.
Knowing the chinese they will probably make a toy shipping box that looks like a toy, or would it be better to buy a toy that looks like a box?
My wife told me to go buy an Xbox game for my young teen son, he has over 100 of those games, a 360 and a PS, plus his own 55” tv.
I tell her I need to get something he won’t just buzz through in about 4 hours like most video games he does get and then loses interest unless its a really good shooter like Halo.
I bought him a really cool all aluminum 21 speed mountain bike for last Christmas, I think he rode it twice.
I bought him a replica of this battle rifle with a fake chainsaw under it that makes sounds, its 3 feet long by the way and looks very much like the Lancer in Gears of War, he goes everywhere with it, sleeps with it and even actually takes care of it, go figure, it must be our children following our footsteps.
If only he had the patience to re-load 2000 .223 cartridges on a single stage press.....
Leftism first forms in childhood from envying playmate’s toys. This is when little socialist dictators develop the idea of taking things from others and controlling their lives. Some people never forget their toy envy and lobby to keep the Joneses from buying nicer toys than they buy for their children.
For my youngest, a stick is all he needs. Even at 12, he still loves sticks. They become guns, swords, what ever he wants them to be.
I had to stop him from bringing his collection inside, though. Now, he sticks them into my shrubbery t hide the best ones.
My favorite - a card table with an old sheet or blanket over it!!
A cottage, a castle, a camp out. Gosh, I haven’t thought about that in years!!. I many have to set one up for my granddaughter.
One Christmas I bought a Nerf basketball goal that clips onto a door. A room full of presents, that was the only thing they opened and played it until the goal fell off. Replacement cost was $3.99.
I would tell my parents, nothing with batteries and anything they can play outside.
You can thank me later.
Ive bought my grandson all the latest educational toys and he never plays with them. big waste.He likes to play with me.
