Empty shampoo bottles or water bottles are the best. Put a few rocks in them and you’ve got an instant shaker toy!

How awesome that the ad at the top of the page is “Constructive Playthings”.

You forgot a big one: the box that the expensive toy came in. It is right up there in OMG Do it Again!

and depending on that car’s security system, its gonna cost about $50 to replace them when the kid makes them disappear. (>_<) a lesson i learned far too late.

I’m guessing that the reason he likes the car keys is because you hang around to make sure he doesn’t eat them. All babies really want to be around their people at all times.

I was gonna say just this. Empty toilet paper rolls? Crumpled up bits of paper? Those useless motion sickness wristbands that my mom insisted on buying for me? MOST FUN TOYS EVAR!!!

You forgot the cardboard box.

Ha ha! Yep – in our house “Golden Treasury of Fairy Tales” is ignored. “Bumpy the Tractor” that looked like it was whipped off in Photoshop in five minutes is read every day.

Mind you the keys probably came in a set with a car that was more expensive than $100…

Expensive toys are designed with “studies” in mind – kids like bright colours; let’s make something bright. Kids like interesting sounds and textures? Let’s add those too. But kids’ minds, as complex as they are, are paradoxically simple – they don’t need something that requires them to perform certain manoeuvres in order to get the rewarding sound/light/tactile reward; they want (and need) something that trips their imagination. Plush toys can become their friends and allies on adventures; wooden blocks can be used to create fortresses or houses or copies of furniture they see around them. This sort of simple stimulus is the reason “the box it came in” remains the best present ever.

Yeah, these sites are weird – if you’re posting from a different time zone, someone can post hours after you and have his/her comment appear before yours. It’s happened to me plenty ^_^

^^ Looks like the “$25 Brain Growning Toys” didn’t work on THIS baby above me.

Do car keys again? That sounds cool

Anyway, I think there’s more a random correlation instead. Buying an expensive toy might work, but it’s just way more dissapointing if the baby doesn’t like it.

This even works for my seven-year old nephew. Babysitting is awesome with him, you just give him something you got at the supermarket for free and you don’t have to look after him for the rest of the day.

Ideally, that’s the way it should work for the toy companies. According to modern thinking, Tonka had it all wrong.

I don’t know what growning is, but I know that toys which do it are really expensive.

So true! Especially with kids’ books. The $1 books from the dollar store must be read 10,000 times. The heirloom-quality, artsy, well-written titles get shoved under the toy bin.

So true! 3 kids. Kabillion dollars worth of toys. Not one toy survives to this day!

Made from experience? The “brain growning” toys didn’t seem to have much effect on the graph maker

Looking at the times, I would say not even remotely close.

This also works for pets. Buy them some fancy toy, couldn’t care less… roll up some aluminum foil, they’re booked for the weekend.
