Though there are many sites that recommend age-appropriate gifts to give, I believe that your child should pick out the present that he/she wants to give.
I mean, it is a gift... and we need to reinforce the concept of giving to our children.
FANTASTIC post!

Right on! It's incredible how toy companies are making basic toys and play a thing of the past. I like your phrase "keyboard kids" which in itself seems to be the only new and creative direction toy companies have taken. It does not seem that they are really watching out for our children or for learning anymore. After the Mattel fiasco with lead paint and now all of their Fisher Price products electronically singing, dancing and encouraging on line play, I just wonder if toy companies even know how kids really learn. It surely isn't from pressing buttons. Maybe the real question is... do toys need kids anymore? Or are we making the spongy mind of a growing child a thing of the past too? Think about it .
