Well, I really meant to kick this blog off a little bit quicker, but what with work and tot care, things got a little out of hand. So, let’s try again. Cheap toys for kids. Where do we start? Well, I would start with introducing myself and my daughter, but maybe I’ll leave that for another day and climb right in with a cheap toy.
Cookie Cutters in Sock Sorter Toy
Behold the image. Cookie Cutters in a Sock Sorter. Yep, it doesn’t get much cheaper than this. My wife likes to keep her sock drawer pretty tidy, so long ago, when we visited one of those one pound stores, we stocked up on slighly neon pink sock sorters. My wife found she had more than enough sock sorters to fill her drawer with socks….and t-shirts…..and other wifely sorts of things…..LIKE HAIRBANDS you sicko you. ptha. Anyhoo, so my wife gladly donated a sock sorter to our daughter for her to play with. Thing is, a sock sorter ain’t much fun for a little one. It doesn’t really do anything once you get past the colourfullness. Which is sometimes enough to be a toy, believe me, but this one needed a little pizaz…something extra….behold the cookie cutters….this little set came free with a tesco delivery or something. They aren’t particularly sturdy, and we aren’t really a cookie bakery here. But there they were, sitting quietly on the kitchen counter when my daughter spied them, pointed at them and said “Gimme!!!”. Well actually, she said “MMBBBAAAA” which is all she can really say because she is only one. Next thing you know, the cookie cutters are being frantically sorted in and out of the various empty sock compartments and voila, a new toy is born!
So form my perspective, this toy is great. The plastic sock sorter was a job lot and probably cost us 90pence or so. The cookie cutters….free…..great cheap toy for kids if you ask me. Suits a frugal dad. Does it suit a playful tot? Well, so far, she has kept herself very entertained with it for a good 6 and a half minutes today…..putting red cutters into pink sock compartments, taking them out, moving them into another compartment. As if searching for the perfect symetry…the perfect compartment for each cookie cutter and she is smiling and playing and babbling a little, and that’s all that counts!
