What's The Oddest Item Your DCK's Fight Over?

[Rockgirl]

There's probably some random object in every daycare that is the coveted item.

Here, I have a set of toy metal pots & pans in the play kitchen, and there's one particular lid every child wants to possess. I've had to remove it before, because a physical altercation broke out.

They don't even play with it. They all just know they want it.

The footstool...why?

[LostMyMarbles]

Oh yea...there is this one tiny piece of light blue crayon

The little blue and green babies from the dollhouse. They get hid sometimes. Not as bad as it used to be.

The grumpy bear care bear.

Currently there's a racecar book on the shelf that's been a subject of "mine mine mine" but the car that goes with it was in a mouth yesterday so I took it away to wash it so it's still "drying".

This time last year it was the "boy" baby doll. One of our little girls had just gotten a new brother and since she only wanted to play with the "boy" doll every one else followed.

A random red counting bear that happens to have a backpack. The rest do not, of course.

He's currently "missing". A missing poster was made. It's hung up in the art room.

One tiny little white scoop in the sandbox. One of at least 20 scoops or shovels...they all run to try to get it first.

A yellow toy train in our vehicle bin. Everyone wants it....then they just hold it. ::

A green bangle. One of about fifteen bangles, four of them being different shades of green.

A plastic fried egg from the play kitchen.:confused:

So funny!! Mainly because we have one too, and 20 month old dcg carries it around most of the day!

The sun. The bay window in the classroom cast 3 rectangles of sunlight in the classroom in the morning. DCB and DCG used to fight over who could set in the "good" center rectangle of sunlight. Mind you for most of the morning it was big enough for 4 kids to stretch out in.

LOL! For the win!

The hiding spot under the lego/train table. They will stack two high three deep in there!

The Fisher Price Laugh and Learn car. I had to get rid of it. Kids were getting punched, bitten, hair pulled...I have never seen kids fight over something like they did over this dang thing. Even the big kids wanted to play with it, but the 2's and 3's were the ones out for blood. I had this for 2-3 years before it suddenly became the toy that they all HAD to have. Of course, when they came in and it was gone, no one even noticed!

Who gets to wash their hands first.

The best social spot at the table. The table is like 2' x 4' and I seat six kids at it. I finally pointed out that the table is so small that they are all sitting by each other anyway.

They also fight manage to fight over anything there's only one of.
