Best and worst toys

[mrsflibble]

I hereby retract my slating of the car. she learnt to work it properly this afternoon, and although she's getting a bit big for it, she's happy.

worst toy in the whole wide world is now: barbie armchair.

wadding filled pink chair, quit cute but only stayed chair chaped for about 10 mins. then it just looked like a beanbag without the added advantage of being washable.

Urgh...no sooner had I freecycled Ellis's toddle-car thingie, he leapt happily onto the one in Toddler Group and was stuck to it all morning. I had to prise the little blighter off it in the end before it came home with us. He too has discovered the skill of pushing it along with his feet....

Worst toy is now this cheesy workbench thing I was given. Not too bad as a toy, but the grating American robot accents making strange statements such as 'I'm Clampy Vice, your holding device' and ' Guess what I saw? WOOD!' are NO LONGER entertaining after 5 solid hours. And, of course, if you turn it off, or remove the batteries, it gets thrown with abject disgust across the living room.

And...if I have to fish another megablok out of the bin/loo/pot-plants/video or save another Little People character from being posted through the letterbox, I will go mental. Yesterday morning, along with a letter from the taxman (always nice!) I was handed four little people, a zebra, three toy cars and a Thomas the Tank Engine book by the postman.
