Thirteen favorite “toys” of the week
November 15th, 2006- The wooden train from the dollar section of Target….
- Also the wooden fire engine from the same section….
- And the wooden ambulance there as well - all three were 1/2 off, the best $1.50 I’ve ever spent. They have to go everywhere with us and must sit in his carseat in the car.
- The Little People cars - complete with a puppy driving them. He especially likes “driving” them on his car rug.
- A bubble-bath-filled car (Lightning McQueen) with real wheels - drives all over my coffee table and watches the Cars DVD with great delight.
- Ducky, as always.
- Clifford, as always.
- A calculator, stolen from Daddy, that opens on its own when you push a button.
- His own slip-on shoes - taken on and off numerous times a day, usually on the wrong feet.
- Diaper wipes and a plastic container - endless entertainment! At least he puts them back….
- Daddy’s new baseball hat from work - makes for hilarity when placed on Mama’s head, apparently.
- The salt shaker - apparently it must not be filled with salt, for the salt must be shaken onto everything, including into Mama’s purse, to be discovered at odd moments…..
- The spinning light-up Nemo thingy from Disney - complete with new batteries, it is again wow-inducing.

Oh this is too funny! I’d only add “an empty box” and “the packing materials that came in it”
LOL

I was starting to think we were the only non-Santa family out there!!

OH mannnn… I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas time!
Gotta love the simple things in life, a salt shaker and a baseball hat
What a fun list. Your little one isn’t falling for corporate marketing hype; he picks his own toys! Smart, that one! Thanks for stopping by my blog and Happy Thursday!

I have no kids, I have cats - and I am their favorite toy. My role: warm-blooded furniture.
Has he gotten Legos (or Duplos) yet? I love those things, even at the advanced mega-toddler age of 30-mumble. (They do hurt big-humans’ feet when trod upon, however…)
Great list ~ thanks for stopping by!
Baby Boy has a spinning light thing from Disney…he finally learned how to push the button himself! Thank you, thank you, thank you! My finger would get sore from him wanting me to push it all the time!
haha! too funny! poops likes everything because it goes right into his mouth! yes, he’s in that phase. haha. happy tt! thanks for stopping by!
My two year old is into spices this week. So far, I’d suddenly ran out of garlic powder, paprika and black pepper whole.
Coincidentally, I noticed a bunch of spices near my trash can…all mixed and played out.
I just saw all of the wooden trains and things in Target’s dollar section. They will make GREAT stocking stuffers. I love the dollar section.
I think human children require much more work. My children only thought my tail was a toy…
Just one thing: It only takes simple things to make a child happy - and I wish I were a child again
Thanks for stopping by.
All right. Gonna have to go make a trip to Target with all of that wooden toy talk in the dollar section!
Happy TT!
Paper bags and boxes, empty spools, wooden spoons, anything but what is IN the package.
I have to admit that one of the best things about teaching nursery (kindergarten) is the Lego!!!
My TT is up there too
Forget what’s in the package. The package itself is the best toy with my kids, ages 5, 3 and 2. We recently bought my daughter the Cook n Grill super deluxo play kitchen, complete with a grill, sink, microwave, cabinets, lots of cool fake food, etc. The unit cost us some $160 before shipping. All she wanted to do during the first week as the recipient of said expensive birthday gift/toy was hide out in the box giggling.
I love that wooden train at Target! My son loved that too!

I miss getting toys for Christmas.
Well, at least the less expensive ones. Now I’m all about cameras, computers, etc. Hehe.
I think you can spend alot of money buying toys and kids always seem to love the pots and pans and empty shoe boxes.
Happy TT
So nice to hear of parents still buying the wooden toys!
i think you should post a pic of funny mommy with daddy’s baseball hat.
LOL! This is so cute. I remember the days…
heh, i love those calculators that pop open with the touch of a button, so much that I um, broke one last month because i just kept pressing the button.
Great list! Your little guy sounds like he keeps busy, and keeps you busy too!
Happy TT!
Ah, this reminds me of some of my favorite toys from childhood. I LOVED my Pooh Bear and my Weeble Wobbles - I had the camping weeble wobbles.
I confess, I take my shoes on and off throughout the day as well.
Thanks for stopping by my TT!
