Is it necessary for kids to have lot of toys?

I do not know how to settle the situation with your husband. I think kids will always ask for more toys, but in the end they go back to their favorites to play, and the others just lay around. Children need classic things like blocks and crayons that make them use their imagination. He needs blocks, for instance, to build garages for his cars.

he is only 2.. he isn't going to really notice much. and kids are so easily distracted, he can be playing with one toy, turn around, and see a toy he played with yesterday and think it's something new! my 3 year old nephew has a mountain of toes, and he prefares to play with the vacuum cleaner!! lol! saving money is a great idea, and if your husband is desperate to get him toys, get him cheap things like stickle bricks and lego, and foam puzzles etc.. don't be getting anything too expensive. for example if your husband wanted to spend $20 on toys, tell him to buy stuff for $10, and you'll put the other $10 away :)

I don't think a young child needs a lot toys. Every boy or 2 to 3 years old seems to love toy cars. As you son gets older it is likely he will become interested in construction toys like Lego. One of the toys my son liked best was a three vehicle garage with flashing lights when the doors open. It is nice to belong to a toy library and then it is borrow rather than buy. Saving for your son's future is a very good idea.

For little kids the whole world is a big toy filled with lots of wonder and fertile ground for them to explore and for their imaginations to take off. Children can make anything a toy and lots of fun so no, they don't need you to go out and buy them a lot of toys. Most toys end up either broken or forgotten in a very short period of time. The best thing to do is let your child get plenty of outdoor activity and playtime in nature. For the most part that is free.

Yes it is preferable to save money as opposed to buy so many toys. There are lego type toys where he can learn to be creative. I would say to discuss with hubby about what would be best in terms of not buying so many. They do get a lot of toys for the holidays and birthday. Sometimes kids get so many that they are unsure what they like and bore easily with some. Explain to your husband on how maybe limiting a few would be best. He is 2 years old and if he is given way too many, maybe in the future he will expect a lot and times do get hard and he will be disappointed if he is use to receiving.

I think saving money is necessary of course, but, for me, you need to enjoy the moment. I don't know how many toys your son already have, but maybe you should teach him to not destroy the toys otherwise tell him that you are not going to buy new toys.

A few tougher,more kidproof toys might be better than replacing many more easily broken ones..or You could try some saving options..I don't know how you might feel about letting him work off his energy on a previously owned toy?

As far as my experiences as a Mom is concerned, I believe toys make kids really happy so I do give my kids toys. but I make sure I give them those that are appropriate for their age because if not, chances are they will only destroy the toys. It is also wrong to buy just about what the kid wants. Too much of everything is not good. Just give him enough toys he can enjoy playing with and also also allow him to play the toys along with other kids so that he can would know how to share and to socialize. I also believe it is not advisable to give expensive toys because kids can always outgrow toys. Sooner they'd just leave that toys and will find new interests so what happens to the toys. It's either they gather dusts or you just give them away.

If you think over pamper your child and buy as many toys as he want is good parenting, then by all means, go for it. Personally, i don't think children need to have a lot of toys to enjoy a happy life, a two years old boy may need plenty of motherly and fatherly love and caring like cuddling and intimacy to become a happier kid and productive adult later. It all depend on what sort of person you want your child to grow into in the future, a spoil brag who want every demand to be fullfilled or a responsible teenager who act responsibly toward his friends and family.

It's not necessary. Besides your baby is just 2 yrs old so he never knows how to take care of his belonging/s and toys. Better give him cheap toys or plastic ones, and let him assemble it after. Or have those toys than can be fix with glue so you won't keep buying new toys each time he ruined one. have a good day jaiho®

I understand what you are saying. i like to save money to but my wife likes to get the kids what they want. now if we have the money i dont mind getting the kids a new toy some of the time but they have to get rid of an old toy before they get the new one. maybe that will help you with that you are going through. talk to you husband and tell if you are going to get new toys that it only be like ones a month your even less. you can even save the toys for the birthday. that way your kid will get a lot all at once. i hope i have helped .

for me is not necessary to buy a lot of toys but there is a toy which is enough for the kids when there is already a toy car its already enough if you buy only one and not so expensive
