Attention: Grandparents

With the Christmas season upon us, and with the recent toy recalls and lead scares dancing in our heads, many grandparents may be confused as to just what to give their young ones this year. Our independent testing lab has shown that it is not the plastic pig, the Disney dog, the stuffed frog that will win your child's heart. Indeed, our latest research indicates that an empty can of paint has great appeal this year. Our test subject prefers it to a variety of other available objects, constantly and merrily toting it around the house, laughing all the way.
We suggest a line of latex Behr products from Home Depot, but that it is your option.
Hope this helps.
If any grandparents have made other observations about an unusual favorite play item, please send them to the trailboss@swpub.com

You're right about kids loving the simplest things in life....our 15-month-old grandson in Florida had a Swiffer duster and a toy remote control on his "wish list"! It seems he has confiscated our daughter's Swiffer and absolutely loves the thing.
As for the remote, we all know that no child will love a play remote, no matter how it looks, so this grandpa and grandma bought him his own real universal remote. It will be much more appealing, plus when he tires of it, his parents have a new toy of their own! So, from paint cans to Swiffer dusters, who knew???
