Seussical
that every childs toy has to make music now. I am going to a first birthday party here in a bit. So When I got done working this morning I went to the store to pick up some presents. I found an adorable little outfit and then I went to the toys. Not so very long ago I used to be able to buy little kid toys that didn't ALL make music. Drop a ball in it sings. Put a toy together it makes music. They talk. They move. What ever happened to helping your kids make thier own music? What ever happened to teaching a child to move the toy? I know what I read on all those packages that all this stuff promotes learning. Ok, but where did creativity go? I stood in two different stores staring at toys for over an hour. Picking up one and reading it and putting it back to pick up another.
I did end up settling for one that makes music but the reason for that is because it is one of those xylaphones. You are meant to make music with those. I also got a cloth doll (you wouldn't believe how hard it was to find one of those that didn't make sound or light up too).
I don't know what is happening with all these gadgets for little ones. Ah well guess I am glad I don't have little ones right now. By the time I get grand kids who knows how I will feel.
