A toy doesn’t have to be very complex to be good(Not to impugn the excellent design and craftsmanship pictured above). Basically it needs to have a shape and it needs to stay in one piece. Everything else is just detail. Toy commercials on television would have us believe that children have very little imagination and require a ready made set of characters and actions in order to have imaginative play. Every parent knows that that is bull, but most parents still buy the crap. Get some kid a handmade wooden toy this year and fight the power.
