We’re a household of books, puzzles, and games. I tend to be an impulse shopper and have a nutty way of buying any kind of toy that catches my eye. All that’s done is creative boxes of unused toys. So my new years resolution was to keep the toy purchases to these 3 items…they’re what my granddaughter loves the most. All that other stuff that I’ve wasted my money on has just gotten thrown to the wayside while she pulls out those few things that she loves the best…..although I must say that a swingset will be the big purchase for the spring…looking forward to that one!

I enjoyed reading the posts! The toys that all 5 kids have enjoyed and can still play with together are:
1. Duplos
2. High quality play animals (ex: Schleich)
3. Knights & castle
4. trains
5. Blocks & army men (army men are cheap & break easily but get lots of use in the block & duplos cities)
6. Dress up clothes
7. light sabers (seriously, my boys chase each other around for hours with these)

As someone else said above, The Radio Flyer wagon and tricycle are the 2 toys I remember from my child hood of more than 50+ years ago. I know I had other toys but I don’t remember them as much as the wagon and trike – other than the Etch a Sketch

How often do our kids get a toy, use it, and then they are done with it? This happens all the time and this is why this list is important. I have gotten my kids into all sorts of board games and we play them all the time. I´ll be getting them a few more this Christmas and they will last forever!

xylophone, tambourine, and maracas are worth it if you can handle the noise and you can buy all of them tough enough that you can give them to really little kids.
