Category • General Parenting and Home Life

We avoid electronic toys at our house, even though we have enough computers that each child has her own.  I don't care for the constant noise of the electronics, or the way play is limited to whatever was programmed into the toy.  A couple of our toys that are electonic but still have play value simply live at our house without batteries.  Not everyone understands why we are so resistant to these toys, but today an article in the Wall Street Journal explains why:

Too Many Batteries Included

B.T.W. all the electronic toys received for Christmas are GONE... broken, batteries worn down, or lost. tee hee... too bad. Ü

BUT the wooden pull behind zoo toy that I got my 18mods has been played with by all. Even the 11yo. LOL

I found you by random reading on the AO blog ring. THANKS for sharing.
