The kids already have enough toys to last until they are grown. Has any one wrapped up toys that your kids already had, gave it to them as a present and try to pass it off as new?? Oh yeah, we’ll go there. Especially with the baby. [/quote]
We just did this with the grandkids – on accident.
I always weed out old toys and put them into plastic storage containers in the storage room. I do this in case they ever say “whatever happened to toy X?”, I can simply go retrieve it (they’ve never asked by the way). My mom used to throw away my toys without asking and it made me furious, that’s why I don’t toss them.
Anyway, They discovered a few of those storage buckets the other day and they’ve been having a great time rediscovering toys they didn’t even know they had! They are just as happy with’em as if they’d been new toys…
