Toys We Hate

We have so many posts asking us what to get children for those stuck on birthday ideas.

Let's list toys we DON'T like:

Toys with little pieces

Magnetix - this toy was recalled for being involved in the death of one child & 12 incidents last year. Because they say it's newly improved, doesn't allay my fears.

Any toy making sounds that doesn't come with an off button.

Re: Toys We Hate

The Wiggles guitar
The Leapfrog Learning Drum

Any toy that claims to be something it's not - ie, crappy race car sets that dont stay on the track - but many fall under this category.

Anything that uses way too many batteries per load. 4 batteries for a small toy is totally unacceptable!

Lastly, any toy that doesnt have a volume control.

I hate those motorized cars, jeeps, etc. Whatever happened to peddling a tricycle or big wheel for fun?

Re: Toys We Hate

I think I hate video games....

I have students who I've taught for a few years (moved up with their class) and they struggle to read --- yet they are experts at video games --and it really makes me hate them.

And then they have all of these new "interactive games" for babies that use special controllers and the television and while they say that they are educational I'd rather read books to my child then have them learn shapes and stuff from a TV game --- it just reminds me too much of video games.

Roman loves his leap frog learning drum.

I hate those popping balls either the one that's a walker or just a spinning top. The sound is so obnoxious.
