Sticks are a big hit here, as well!

We got a ton of milage from wooden fruit that can be cut up and a kitchen set for imaginative play. Computerized toys or tablets never seemed to work for my kids. They were immediately bored after using it twice. I like open ended blocks too. Pattern blocks got a lot of milage. Also Magna Tiles. But, at the end of the day, sticks were always an inspiration to go outside and then to build with them. https://www.pragmaticmom.com/2013/08/stick-toys/

I’m very grateful too that you wrote what happened with the family that got rid of all their toys! I’ve been tempted to do that, but I think I will stick with having some after all. :)

Scratch that I probably already have too many toys, I am having a hard time figuring out what to clear out of the house.
