When I got my first child, my daughter Anais (she is 7 years old now), I was determined to only buy toys that are educationally valuable and preferably
sustainable.
But well.... I am honest: I didn't stick to it.
The kids have their own tastes, get presents etc. Also, very often, I am a child myself and understand why they NEED this or that. But there are some toys that are rasing questions.
Let me give you a taste of it:
How about a nice cooking set featuring the Disney.... No, wait.... DISHY princesses?!
(Anais won this at a funfair.)
No? You don't like this? Well, then how about one of the POOPSY PETS??
And then today, I found this in one of their rooms:
I was like: What the hell?! What is THAT?! (I am not the only one who thought at first, that it doesn't look ... well.... quite appropriate for a kids toy, right?!)
Okay, okay, it is something really innocent but honestly: who designed this?!
