Why Kids Toys Are For Kids

I have made a discovery in my adult life, kids toys were
made for kids. Now I know you may be puzzled about this because we all
have sat down and played with our children, but if you peer deeper into
this issue you will see as I do.

Lego Mines…

Tell me why it is a child can run blind folded through a
room littered with Legos. Yet me I carefully navigate threw the room
watching my step, stepping like that of a cat carefully then it
happens. I step down onto one of these plastic “toys” and it rips threw
my heal. Of course that sends me to the floor only to have Legos
sticking me in the rear. These blocks were not intended for adults.

Play Doh is wonderful, entertains the kids for hours,
the mess it not to bad if you can stand the smell of the stuff. You
have to love it though as a fashion statement. Where you sit in it
unknowingly and you wear it on your hind side to the store. Of course
you see this handsome man looking at you fanny, and you prance about
feeling young and exuberant , only to get home and have you husband
point out the gray blob of play doh stuck to your bum.

My kids like many other love to color, who would have
though a pack of 96 crayons could be an issue, well if you have
toddlers about you better love the arts because you walls will have
plenty of art. The kind your can’t remove unless you want to spend
hours scrubbing think layers of the wax off your walls. But the very
best thing I LOVE about crayon is how the melt in a car on a hot summer
day. Like the time we took a trip to the beach, a lovely day it was.
The kids happily colored in the back seat then we got there swan and
came back to a car with a puddle of wax in the back seat.96 crayons and
a huge colorful melting puddle. Six car details later you can still see
our lesson it nice tints of yellows purples reds and greens.

Hot wheels are great, ya gotta love any thing that sends
kids into a fit of move the fridge my car is under there. Or how about
how they act as little unsuspecting roller skates that send you
flailing across the room failing about the room.

My favorite is the super balls. That pelt about the
room like little rubber bullets. They send you running for cover. Then
they roll away…leaving your kids screaming you can never find these
things once they go out of your site. I have eight kids. They love
these little rubber balls. Of course they bounce them at a high rate of
speed that only a child could get out of one of these things. I can
tell you .They HURT!!! They ignore my pain and scream ear splitting
head cracking screams to chase the balls that is theirs or the one they
wished was theirs. Little arms searching wilding for the lost balls.
Cries of anguish for those that are missing…You don’t have to remind
me…in the adult world kids toys are for kids.
