The Best Children's Toys

Most toys stifle the imagination instead of encouraging it.  Have you noticed how kids prefer "real" things, stuff they see Mom and Dad using? Here are some "toys" that allow a child's imagination to play:

1) A big cardboard box.  May have a couple of windows cut out. (makes a house, car, sled, fort, castle, cave, etc.)

2) A stick.  (makes a gun, sword, torch, staff, etc.)

3) Dress-up clothes.

4) Kitchen cabinet or shelf with containers of various sizes.

5) Dolls/Stuffed Animals

6) Lego.  Lots of plain legos. (makes almost anything)

    Cardboard boxes were one of my FAVORITE toys as a kid. They were second only to dress-up clothes.
