This week for Works for Me Wednesday, Shannon has asked for a toys worth buying list. I would say that the best toys we have bought over the years have been in the following order:
1) wooden train set
2) bicycles
3) Tonka Trucks
4) Anything made by Little Tykes
5) Any of the Melissa and Doug wooden toys
We have five boys, and the Thomas the Train wooden train set with hand-crafted wooden table has made it through all of them. We also live way out in the country, and the children all love to ride bikes. Some of them even learned to ride without training wheels in January, because they were so excited with their Christmas bike! We have also invested heavily in Tonka trucks. I think my mom still has some Tonka trucks that belonged to my brothers. We also have had very good service out of any toys we purchased that were made my Little Tykes. That stuff is nearly indestructable! And we have also enjoyed the wooden toys made by Melissa and Doug.
I suppose I could link to all of these, but they are pretty well known, so I will just let you use Google or Ebay to find products.
Have a blessed day!Labels: toys, Works for Me Wednesday |
I agree that Tonka is indestructible, my boys are trying without success. Have you ever tried Melissa & Doug puzzles? They are the best!
