I'm putting together Easter Baskets for my grandbrats. I don't like their parents, so I've already got playdough, legos, and finger paints in there, but I need other ideas.
What toy, or toys has your child received that you absolutely hated or dreaded the use of?

Noisy toys. Anything that plays drum noises, toots, tinny music or repetitive loud crap. Awful kid movies that get played over and over.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.

A breeding pair of guinea pigs.
A drum kit.

Anything that takes batteries. Don't include batteries. And toys in packaging that is a bitch to open. And yes, anything noisy.

--A couple of cans each of Silly String
--A few packs each of temporary tattoos (they end up on everything)
--Paste and glitter, so they can make LOTS of pretty pictures
--Nice shiny silver whistles that they can wear on strings at all times
And, give them a couple of tips about the best super-secret places to hide a colored boiled egg -- "don't tell mom and dad!".

ooh, both you and Crash are delightfully creative.
I have sent them home with packages of temp tattoos before, they were kind enough to wait for their father to fall asleep before gleefully covering their father with my little pony glitter tattoos.
I've been trying totalk my granddaughter into giving her father a hair cut while he's sleeping

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter. It use to piss me off when my mom would pack my lunchbox with PB&J sandwiches.
