The best and the Worst

It seems as though every year I try to find the best toys for my kids and sometimes it seems I win and sometimes it seems I loose. So I thought that I would make a list of the toys we are still playing with and the ones that seem to just gather dust.

5 toys we are still playing with.....







We just love the Aquadoodle, our Magformers, our art easel, our play food and of coarse the leapfrog music table


And our top 5 dust collectors are......







You may of noticed that moon sand was on our list THREE times. Yes it is really that bad. If you are looking for a multi colored sandbox inside your house this is the toy for you. I can't even say that this is collecting dust at our house anymore. During the summer I made my kids play with it outside so it could slowly disapear. And boy was I happy when it did.

The Star Station looked fun but it actually gave the whole family a headache. If you like watching blurry blurry TV this is for you. We could never quite get it focused.

And the Pony House well Matayia just didn't like it as much as I thought she would!

So now I am asking for your help!! If you have read this, consider yourself "TAGGED"
(I don't really know how to do it) Share with me your "BEST" and of coarse your "WORST" toys list. Hopefully this will help me keep my "Top elf" position with Santa.

This is a great idea. I will work on my list soon. We have Moon Sand. Tyson loves it, I do not. It is so messy! We also have the Leap Frog music table. Preston got it for his birthday about a month ago, so it's still new here. Both boys like to play with it.

I HATE moon sand. Todd insisted on getting it for Sammy's b-day last year and almost all of it is still in the packaging. We have played with it twice not because my kids don't want to but because I don't want them too. I will have to share some of the best and worst we have had. Good idea!
