I tell my kids to imagine they have the toys they want.

It's good for their development and the clean-up-time can't be beat.

can confirm. we just got the kids those giant magna-tiles. they’ve played with nothing else today.

Magna tiles are easy to clean up in the they stick to each other sense, but I still find them all over the house.

With that title, I was expecting a different type of toy lol.

Hot take - Along these lines video games score incredibly well.

Arguably not a “toy”, but it’s interesting to think about.

tl;dr:

- play-time and clean-up-time are 2 dimensions of toys, and you can use these dimensions when you are considering to buy a toy

- author likes magnetic building toys (???)

- amazon ref links to buy those magnetic building toys
