The worst toy your offspring has received
#1
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.

Magic markers, no paper, and tell them their walls look boring.

A breeding pair of guinea pigs.

A drum kit.

A DVD of the movie "Candyman", tell them they can watch it at your house..

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 hah

Puzzles preferably with a 1000 pieces or more.
Bead kit so they can have fun making their own jewelry while scattering 20,000 beads around the house.
My Chocolate Workshop 200 piece set. Kids can make their own chocolate candies with it and you can find them at Toy's R Us.
Paper Mache kit and paint to decorate their creations after they dry.

Minature jet airplanes. My son got a set of 8 when he was 5. They're tiny, and when you step on one in the middle of the night it feels like a machetti tearing through the arch of your foot.

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.
