And this is how the kids won "no sharing" game.

This is a spin off the school supply sharing.

For about a generation or two the whole "to share o not to share" holy war that was going on between the parents might be done and over with for good. Come to think of it, perhaps the many generations before instilled in kids the ownership and care of their own toys and did not let them share with other kids because they have been through plagues and such. Perhaps our communal memory failed
to recognize it and value it. Perhaps now it all start making sense?

Perhaps little kids clinging to their toys and sand buckets outside were right from the beginning, knowing that they are a walking talking
germ distributors and wanted to keep others safe?

Hm.. sometimes it is good to eradicate natural tendencies, other times nature wins.

How do you rule here?

Still okay within the family where the germs are shared anyway but playground and such.. hm.... maybe not the best idea from now on.

All we can hope is that people will now stop bringing personal toys to playgrounds.

If you bring it to the playground, you share it. If you don’t want to share it for whatever reason, you don’t bring it.

This virus will not be a concern forever. The OP’s concept means that kids can’t use the same toys in daycare or school either. That’s a sad world.

My toddler’s favorite thing about the playground was someone else’s toys. He’d gladly share his new dump truck for another kid’s jar or (oddly) spatula.

My kids have always wanted to share their toys for the chance to play with someone else’s toys. This post makes no sense to me. What was natural for my kids was to “give in order to get”.
