It’s fairly common to hear a kid wail during an unfortunate bout of boredom. Less common to hear a complaint from a parent that there aren’t enough toys around to keep that kid entertained.
Even as the little ones are happily scrawling on their Christmas lists — the latest Lego play set, Xbox game or talking doll, a ball, some new blocks, an action figure — grownups everywhere are wondering where they will stow all these new playthings — and whether they should be stowed at all.
See Wednesday’s Arkansas Democrat-Gazette for ideas on dealing with kids toys.
