While my hubby & I were doing dishes last night, HC was really having a blast with a large rubber band she found laying on the ground. I'm sure it got there by means of two older sisters. She was putting it in & out of drawers, hiding it under her blanket, & "talking" to it as if it were real. I've never seen her play with any toy with that kind of enthusiasm.
This got my hubby & I wondering what exactly it is about things kids aren't supposed to have? Why are they so much more interesting & exciting? Then we started reminiscing about the cute little "Elmo TV Remote" we bought for RD when she was almost a year old. We had been convinced she'd love it & leave the real TV remotes alone. We even acted like she wasn't allowed to touch it. We thought we were wise but, she was on to us. Seriously, what's the deal?
Some of the best toys are ones that cost next to nothing.....
Old RX bottles filled w/rice
Pots, pans & utensils
Tupperware & lids
Cookie cutters
Left over Christmas cards, thank you notes, etc.
AND I really hate to say this one: a certain fast food restaurant's toys....YES, this one earns the most played with toy award.....
