Do you ever stop and look at all the great toys that the kids growing up today have. From the minute they are born until they leave the nest. Everything is either battery operated or electrical. I really get jealous when I go out to buy any toys for my grandsons as things today are really neat.
Of course many of them I cannot even figure out so it is a good thing I don't get any of them. I have to admit that when I go shopping for my grandsons I love playing with all the things in the stores.
One day I was at work and I got a call from my husband telling me about a great car for our 3 year old grandson. It was a car that had a battery. Really!!! When I got home from work I see the big car in our front yard and my little grandson driving it around.
I always think, what next!!!

With the advancement of technology, toys nowadays are interactive. I myself get fascinated with them. But my son still loves collecting lego toys.

@toniganzon I love legos. My kids had them and my grandsons too. I loved all the holidays when the kids got new toys as I was the first to play with them.

@ramapo17 Me too! I still enjoy playing with toys. I enjoy them more than playing games on a computer.

@amadeo That is the way it was with my family. I was born in 1942 and dad went to Germany in WWII. Times were rough then and kids now think things are rough. My parents always tried to give us the best then and we never expected anything as we were never use to anything.

A kid just needs a few playthings and a great imagination. A doll, a ball, a big bunch of blocks or Legos, a wagon, a toy truck, some playdough. Let a child get creative with a few toys. You can build villages with rocks, sticks and mud. There is no limit.

@akalinus You were lucky to have your own room. I had to share one with my sister and we never got along. She is 4 years younger and a very difficult person to get along with anyone. We haven't spoken in 3 years, since my dad passed.
