Bl2—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 12,1981 Spend (Continued from Page B 10) Unfortunately these toys are usually “do-everything” toys that children saw advertised -on television. What we need to remember as friends and parents when shopping is that many toys children see advertised and eventually find under the tree, aren’t fun to play with at all. The toys that flash, run, produce, make noises and do tricks are simply something to watch. These toys get boring very fast. The more things a child can do with a toy himself, the more play potential the toy has. There once was a time when, as children, we thought we’d grow up and give our “irreplaceable” toys those wonderful, simple toys to our children. But, for some of us, the "next” generation is just now beginning to move into the toy-receiving stage and already our toys are out moded. Take a look at your old toys; —Our wind-up dog can’t teach one to count, read or sing. Our baby dolls don’t cry, wet, or say “mama” in seven different languages. Worse yet, our tinker toys are all breakable. —Your plastic army men would surely be blown apart if shot by the new flashless laser guns on the market today. —Oh sure, our race cars could still win races - maybe - that is if you’re racing downhill. —And remember your Barbie doll?

Our Barbie’s hair won't grow by pushing a button, her skin won’t tan and her body won’t bend into a pretzel.

It’s a sad thing today to ask a child if he has a certain toy and watch him stop and think for three minutes to remember if he does or not.

Don’t dread Christmas’ coming because you feel you have to go to the shopping malls and fight crowds just to walk away with an empty wallet and a loaded charge card.
