[QUOTE="donna723, post: 200802, member: 1883"] I have always hated all the electronic toys where all the child does is push a button and then watch while the toy does it's thing! What ever happened to the good old toys that were merely 'props' that were run by the kids' imagination? When mine were little, one of their all time favorite toys was also one of the cheapest! I think they came from the Sears Christmas catalog. It was 30 dark red cardboard 'bricks' about the size of a shoe box and about half the height. They were really just heavy cardboard boxes - they came flat and you had to fold them on the lines and make boxes out of them - like giant blocks. A pain the the butt to put together and they took up half a closet to store, but they LOVED those things! I got them for my daughter when she was little and they were still around when my son came along five years later - he played with them till they crumbled into dust! They could build walls with them or little houses or castles or roads or whatever their imagination led them to. They cost maybe $10 and did nothing but sit where they put them, but they absolutely loved them! But, of course, there was no place to put batteries so they probably don't make them anymore! [/QUOTE]
