I remember a time where playing with your favorite toys, outside in the sun, with all your friends on the same street as you, used to be the thing that every little kid dream of doing when they got home from school. Now, what kids look forward to most when they get outside of school, is to go back to the house, and stay there playing on their tablets and their computers.
It’s a HUGE behavioral shift, and sometimes it’s sad to see. All the fun kids these days are missing out on! And who can blame them? Some video games are flat out better than most toys being manufactured and put out on the market these days! It’s like toy manufacturers have given up, and admitted that kids simply do not play with toys anymore. But that could not be further than the truth. In fact, there are many toys, several toys, that kids still love to play with. As a parent, you just have to find the right toys that are going to have success in drawing your kids from their bedroom, out to that front yard, and spending hours upon hours just having fun outdoors.
