I am yet to see a little kid who does not like a new toy they don't know. It only can happen to a kid
who never can play with a parent but parent just throw a toy at them and want them to self entertain
at a little age. Otherwise, every toy is a  learning experience and potential to imagination growth.
If you will get down to the kid's level and explore the toy together, play and use it in imaginative
way, you are taking an opportunity to bond with the child, to expand their imagination and
create beyond obvious.

The parents who are dismissive about the toys are either childhood depraved themselves, were
not allowed or frown upon when they were playing with toys or are never engaging in the actual
play with kids so they don't appreciate the possibilities that the [b]toys [/b]- which actually [b]are
[/b][b]tools [/b]of  [b]childhood[/b].

If a little child is boarded with a new toy that means also something. It means that either  you
never show a child how to explore and dream or a child has developmental issues, most likely
taking after a parent who also had them because they never learned to explore their toys.

The thing about experiences is  - they are also important, very important. But they
are far in-between comparing to toys that are right there within child's reach.
Asking people to found your experiences is kind of out of line because you should be
founding them accordingly. People need easy tasks because they are busy and
need not someone complicating their lives over their laziness.

If you frawn upon child's play and toys then  you are missing a lot of wisdom.
It is like  you are throwing out a dinner and you just want kid to eat cake
all the time. Experiences are very highly demanding on the senses,
need lots of processing and, too much too often also is just overdoing it.
Kid will grow tired, board and burn down, next time you will say "let's go to.."
he will be turned off and all tired.. yep. There is your experience overload to  you.

Playing with toys is not stupid thing, playing is smart thing to do,
and here is your proof:
