Every year I hear parents complain how they spend a mint on toys, and their children end up playing with the wrapping paper tubes, the wrapping paper, and the box. Seeing the horror and humor in this situation, Thriftychick has compiled a list of gifts for kids that can’t go wrong. All of the toys are classics, most you will recognize, and you’ll agree simple was always best (a total head slapping moment). First up, the bell jar of classic toys, Blocks!
No I’m not insane, even children of today love blocks; any pediatric doc’s office proves this theory. Uniquewoodentoys.com offers a turn of the century reproduction for $45.00. Original graphics are embossed on hardwood blocks and feature the full alphabet, upper and lower case, as well as numbers 0-9. You also will find darling nursery pictures and the History of Alphabet Blocks on the box cover. I predict you’ll be on the floor first stacking them to the sky, but please, let your child have their turn. Cheers
