Toys that don't talk!

All I want for Christmas is...

A quiet moment with my boys!

Is that is truly possible with 3 energetic and curious boys?  From the moment they race through the door from school until they drop off to sleep, our home is a flurry of activity and noise.  Which is why I've always preferred toys that don't make a sound.

So here are my top 10 Classic Gifts of all time:

1. Basic Legos 
2. Lite Brite
3. A Doll Cradle
4. Classic Baby Doll (To play with the cradle!)
5. Build Your Own Anything (Rocket, Doll, whatever!)
6. A Collection Box (anything to put your marbles, rocks and unique bits of stuff)
7. Piggy Bank (always can teach the art of savings)
8. Poga Stick (a great way to send the kids outside to burn off energy)
9. A Bike
10. Wooden Stilts (or a pair of tin cans with ropes for handles!)

Take a peek at this classic toy list and tell me your favorite toys from your childhood.  What are we missing?
