I remember looking at the Sears toy catalog growing up, and I had so much fun circling everything that looked interesting. No, I didn't get everything I circled; actually, most years I did not get anything I circled!.....good thing though, or I would have ended up more spoiled than I am, although, I am still waiting for my pottery wheel and art spinner (ha ha).
Well, we received
The Back to the Basics toy catalog in the mail, and I thought it would be fun for our kids to do the same. R circled almost every toy in the catalog. T told everyone she was getting everything she circled. M and P circled the toys I thought they would. G didn't circle anything (he is set on getting the Wii games, which by the way are on sale at Target
plus they have a Target printable coupon available. This would make the possibilities of the games to be about $4 something!).
From what I could interpret, the girls want art supplies, a sewing machine, and an archery set. R wants everything, but mostly musical instruments, building sets, and cars. I saw some very neat items that I would get for them if they were cheaper (krazy kar, blocks, karaoke machine, pogo stick, whirly wheels).
We will see though. I think the art supplies are a definitely a possibility, especially for good stocking stuffers. I had bought some used Salomon Roller Blades for two of the kids, since they are always using mine. I thought they would want roller blades for Christmas, but I guess they are just as happy to use mine....only, I am not. This will be a project in itself to find some reasonable priced toys, toys that they would enjoy, toys that help their imagination, and toys that would be fun.
Oh, something funny I forgot to mention is that R asked for a menorah and dreidel set.
....mind you, we are Catholic. I don't even think he knows what the toys are, but if it is a toy, he has to have it!
y are now a lot better deal! Of course, it wouldn't necessarily be for Christmas. With 8 kids, we have 2 birthdays around the corner.
