building xmas toys

juno

That's all the fun of it! It gives you something to do. This year I got a very nice necklace, but you can't really play with it!

thats where you are all going wrong. get the kids to build up the toys...its been scientifically proven they can build toys in a 3rd of a time than adults. lol

i bought my boy a fisher price peek a block train set, for six months and up. but it took me ten mins to get it open,the amount of cable ties used that needed untwisting and cutting,, it made my fingers sore!!!

also bought my older son hungry hippos, wasnt so bad on packing, but i had to stick all the stickers on even the eyes!! so now they look drunk ;D but hey its all part of the fun >:( ;D

They also mentioned opening Dairylea Triangles - anyone else struggle with these???

Mecanno Special Edition Train, Age on box 8+, it has just taken me (a 29 year old) three weeks at 1 hour a day to finish it. My son has now completly lost interest in playing with it!! It's such a work of engineering i don't want him to play with it now either!!!!!
