[QUOTE="donna723, post: 351148, member: 1883"] When my daughter was three, I got her this set of giant 'blocks' for Christmas. They were corregated cardboard boxes, came from the Sears toy catalog, and I think I paid about $5 for them. They came flat and I had to put them together. They were the color of bricks and about the size of a shoe box when put together. There were a BUNCH of them and they took up half a closet when we put them away. They were her all time favorite toy and she played with those silly things literally for [I]years[/I]! She built walls and houses and roads for her toy cars, anything she could think of. Then when her brother came along, he played with them too till they fell apart! Best 5 bucks I ever spent! I doubt if they even make them any more. They didn't play music, there was nothing to plug in, no batteries, no computer chips - they ran strictly on 'imagination' and they were WONDERFUL! It's kind of upsetting that there aren't many toys like that now. My grandson hardly has any toys that don't light up or sing to him or talk to him or play music. There's no place for 'imagination' any more and that's kind of sad. Now the kid just pushes a button and sits back and watches the toy do it's thing! [/QUOTE]
