I couldn't agree more!! Those are some of the silliest toys out there. Last year, when Princess had only just turned three, someone gave her a sandart set. Now it is nice, and I'm sure older kids would really like it, but a three year old??? That would have been dumped all over the house in seconds, had I actually let her play with it. Instead I returned it and got her a teddy bear, which she still sleeps with and loves to this day.

You have me rolling regarding the Boobahs. WTH are they anyway? I don't think anyone knows. Bratz, too - ugh! Even Barbie has a little bit of tact (though it appears she's heading down to the District soon with her lovely new outfits (gag) and make up).

My 4 year old got a baby Chou Chou from someone lately, and while she has loads of fun with her, I can only tolerate so much. Thank god her batteries went dry! (Um, sorry honey. Mommy doesn't have anymore of those kind of batteries right now!)

My 7 year old wants a cd player and at least we agree on most of her music being appropriate. Even what the kids listen to is more risque compared to what we had when we were kids. She'd absolutely die if I used "Happy Birthday from Pooh" off the LP that I had for my 7th birthday! (Hmm....methinks I see some good evil mommy torture ideas coming on! LOLOL!)

I used to stress over presents for the kids when they were little. I really shouldn't have bothered. It didn't matter what we got them - they always ended up playing with the boxes anyway.

I agree with you on *most* of your toy list, but I bought the Step 2 sand and water table for my kids. They are obsessed with filling containers and dumping them out!! Don't worry, I won't hate you for bashing our Xmas gift, but I will let you know if your prediction holds true!! :)

Bratz! I would never encourage my daughter to be a brat in the first place. I really think little girls need better role models! I just had my first daughter after having three boys. I'm scared to death looking at what's out there for her! My daughter will not be wearing hooker boots and showing everyone her ass! The sand table thing looks like a mess waiting to happen! Who thinks of this stuff!

I agree! I think Bratz are horrible. I would never buy my child, or anyone elses for that matter, one.

I agree with almost everything, except the Boobahs. I don't think they are meant to be educational, I think they're for exercize. Think most people use the television as a babysitter and whilst watching Boobahs the kids will be up doing exercise. The same can't be said for Tellytubbies.
I think everyone is in agreement that Bratz are awful.

I keep hearing that there isn't any big hit item this year... apparently this is correct :) DD was trying to get me to look at Giant stuffed Boobahs today... I told her No, she is almost 7!!
