I can guarantee that 99% of this years toys will be discarded through boredom or broken within a month or less. I still have a lot of my toys from fifty or so years ago, and my granddaughter loves them!!!! Gerry - I couldn’t agree more.

They deprive children of the challenge to their imagination i.e. how to make this thing move, mime and become an adjunct to playacting. The battery-operated jobs do everything for the gazing child, who becomes a spectator rather than a participant. I'd advise parents to visit Oxfam shops and the like and find handmade toys from struggling countries. I also think parents should buy reading books for their kids. Happy Christmas from afar.
