10 Worst Toys for 2016

[Mad_Pistachio]

last Christmas, my SIL sent my daughter one of BlankieTales (.com and you'll see what it is). it's not just useles, I am used to 90% of X-mas crap being useless. it's downright dangerous.
I thought of sending a knife set to her 2-year-old son. but then decided to be nice and sent nothing. at least, he can't kill himself with nothing, right?

This one is labeled for 14+. Honestly, it hardly fits in the "toy" category at all.

But you know, as with anything, it's not the toy itself that's dangerous, it's the age group, how it's used(why did we have slingshots as kids yet this slime thing is a bad thing), flying supermen....As with anything rules and supervision go hand in hand. Our wooden blocks can be lethal weapons if we just let the dcks go at it. And don't get me started on what can be done with jump ropes.

Side note, I bought some musical instruments through Lakeshore awhile back, these were sticks with ribbons and bells attached. Supposively the bells were 'permanently' attached. I left a review that mine had lost several of their bells, which then, became very dangerous.

I have those ribbon bells also, I haven't lost any bells. But I only let the children use them during music time, I am sure they would be ripped to shreds if I let them free play with them. I have the toddler music set from Lakeshore, also, those maracas are the worst! Kids are constantly hitting each other on the head with them. They are also a music time only instrument.

How many of these did you play with as a child?

I loved the ball clackers! Of course, we had bruises to prove we had been practicing! They went and put the safety things on them and they were never quite as fun again....

My eyes must really be failing me because I had to do a double take on #4. ::

I was JUST trying to figure the same thing out, . My aunt wanted to buy one for DD.

Whe she tried to put one on and walk in it, she almost slipped and fell head first. I caught her.
I'd say, everything is wrong with them.

Oh my goodness BlackCat! I loved those clacky things and the lawn darts! Then again we also used to jump off the roof of my garage into snowbanks when we were kids no idea why we are alive!

Speaking if blanky tails has anyone seen the mermaid tails for swimming? I was thinking about getting it for my niece and then read that several kids had nearly drowned and it is only for super strong swimmers
