Things to Do With Old Toys

If you are like many modern parents, you have quite a few old toys around the house. While some children will scream and holler if you try to get rid of any of their toys, if you are careful you should be able to get away with putting those old toys to good use without upsetting your children.

Top Things to Do With Old Toys

Here are a few things you can do with those old toys before you just dump them in the trash so they head to a landfill.

Donate - Not only can donating old toys get rid of them, it can also be used as an opportunity to teach your children about charity. In today's world, selfishness is more rampant than ever before. Because of this, donating old toys to a worthy cause is a great thing to do to teach your children that it is sometimes better to give than to receive. While Toys for Toys and other toy drives may not accept old toys, there are many ways to pass on slightly older toys to people who are more unfortunate. With the recession still waging, there are many people who would love to have some toys donated to them.
Trade Them - This will not work for all old toys you might have, but for video games it works great. By trading in old games for new ones, parents can save money while their children are able to enjoy the latest and greatest games. There are websites and stores that exist that will usually trade two old video games for one new one. This is a terrific way to get rid of old games while still getting something for them. You are not going to get what you paid for the games originally, but for avid gamers, the savings can add up over time.
These are just two simple ideas of what you can do with your old toys. If you sit down and think about it, you are sure to come up with a list of other things that you can do with all of the old toys you have in your home. If your children are moving out to go to college, it might be a good time to go through their old toys. Just make sure you do it after they move out! In all seriousness, getting rid of old toys does not have to be a hassle if you don't want to send your old toys to the landfill.

Barney Toys - A New Breed of Dinosaur Toys

Dinosaurs are more often than not depicted as big, scary-looking creatures with huge jaws, sharp teeth and a thunderous roar. Almost all movies and shows and toys equate these creatures to monstrosity. That did not make it any less appealing to kids. They absolutely love playing and imagining being in a land filled with the huge, scary dinosaurs.

But then in 1987, Barney was born. A cute and cuddly purple and green dinosaur who loves eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And milk. It doesn't come as a surprise why kids get attracted to such an endearing and sweet character.

The real sweet deal is aside from kids being able to watch Barney on television; Barney toys are now available in all leading toy stores, in all parts of the world.

The Barney toys range from big plush stuffed toys to little miniature Barneys that are equally soft and plush, ready to be loved and cuddled by newborns. Some of them can even laugh and talk and sing at the push of a button.

The Barney and Friends toys have become so successful that apart from the plush stuffed toys, there are even Barney online games now.

Kids just absolutely adore their Barney toys. Someone as young as a two-year-old already has the sense of being completely adamant by deciding she won't sleep without her Barney toy beside her.

It makes you wonder what these kids see in their Barney toys... how come they absolutely adore them. How come they can't put them down? How come after they've outgrown stuffed toys, they still have to go through playing online games involving the purple dinosaur?

But then again, if kids can actually fall in love with the real scary-looking dinosaurs that bite and roar and frighten everyone, then I can absolutely understand and even support that they adore the sandwich-fruits-and-vegetables-eating purple and green creature, who can sing and laugh and make all things cuddly and happy.

Recycling And Kids' Toys

Is it possible for children to have too many toys? I think that there probably is a case against children having as well many toys. I grew up with four younger brothers (about two years between each of us) and our fairly large shared bedroom was lined on two walls with shelving from floor to ceiling with toys and every Christmas there were sacks full of even more toys that we did not have any more room for.

I was the eldest, so you would think that I could pass my baby toys down the line once I had no use for them. That worked while my brothers were actually babies, but as their consciousness started to develop they wanted to play with what I was playing with and so all the toys that I used from, say three to eight years of age were ostracized by my brothers as they leap-frogged over those years and went straight to year eight and nine with me.

But we never got shot of those five years worth of disregarded toys or any other toys either. This would have been in the Fifties and Sixties and I do not believe that recycling was quite the buzz word back then that it is nowadays.

My parents did not throw them away, we just squirreled them away on the top shelves, which we could not get to anyway. I suppose that after sitting up there for ten years they were eventually thrown away but I do not know as I had already left home by then.

The point is that those superfluous toys were not doing anyone in our family any good and they were taking up room. It would have been far better to have given them away or not even to have bought some of them in the first place.

We always had to have 'one each' so that there would be less squabbling. So, we had items like five plastic trumpets, five tin drums, five plastic guns, five of this and five of that and we hardly ever used them after Christmas Day. We liked to play together at board games like Monopoly, Risk and cards and although I, being the eldest, won nine times out of ten, my brothers never seemed to care.

We also had a train set, Scalectrix and a big box of Lego. We would spend all weekend creating different scenarios with combinations of the train set, a roadway and Lego houses and Lego railway platforms. OK, these three toys were almost certainly costly, but they were quality, versatile, could be used in combination and, in a way, were educational. These were the toys that we stored on the lower shelves.

What I am saying is that more is not always better and in the case of toys, more can be just a waste of money. Instead of all that junk on the top shelves, which was usually donated by aunties and uncles by the way, it would have been better to give us a new bridge for the railway set or a new chicane for the Scalectrix or another box of building blocks for our Lego collection.
