Phew. Can we all sit down now? The wrapping paper has been sorted through and thrown away. We've installed batteries and clipped twist ties and the children are playing with all their new treats. I'm watching what my kids are into and I'd like to hear your experience.
- Did your child settle in and play with that one must-have toy for as many hours as you spent looking for it?
- Did something else make its way under the tree and become a sleeper hit?
- Will you be returning any toys this year? Which ones and why?
I hope your holiday was happy! Now put your feet up!
My 4 year-old son loves trains. We bought a few items train related, but we tried to expand his interests. This year I bought an Amish made marble run toy. It was in one piece, not too large and very simple. He absolutely loved it, as well as, my thirteen year-old son. Every child that has visited, along with most of the adults have found this toy very entertaining.
Our two-year-old daughter received a small guitar from Santa and it was, and continues to be, a huge hit. My husband made her a neck strap for it out of some ribbon and she is ready to go on tour.
