Toys for toddlers

Of all the fancy toys we keep at our house for visiting relatives, the favorites are always wooden spoons, or plastic bowls, metal pie pans, or cardboard boxes. I should also list flashlights, magazines, and fingernail polish--the things you don't want them to have. All the brand name toys can't hold the status of things that allow imagination, exploration, and creativity to dominate.

Save your money, and recycle old purses, men's hats, and boxes. You'll have happy kids.
