[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6 year old wants this as well but we’re getting it. And I don’t understand how other posters kids don’t see toys. My kids saw this at Target , first my 9 year old and 6 year old said they both wanted it as a joint gift but now 9 year old doesn’t want it but 6 year old still does. She’s getting rid of a few things to make room, though, that they don’t play with much. I’d probably get it for her but we always do one big gift , and some smaller ones. 
  [b]While it does seem like a waste of money, most toys seem this way to me anyway,if she’s playing with it , I’d be happy she’s using her imagination and playing with toys and not asking for an iPhone which is what my 9 year old wants( and is not getting).[/b]
     If you do not want to get it then yes , I’d let her know now so she can pick something else she will enjoy.

My 9 year old twins both want an iPad or a phone, neither of which they're getting. I miss the days when the "big" present on the list was a toy and not just expensive. If you don't think you have space for it, tell her that or tell her she would need to get rid of something else to make room.

(The Our Generation school room is awesome, by the way, and still used in my house whenever the 9 year olds and 11 year old venture down to play dolls in the basement, which isn't very often anymore, but just enough that it was worth every penny to buy and every inch of square feet that it still takes up. )[/quote]
