We have a playroom that is full of stuff, I often muse about what was well worth the money spent and the stuff that really was a 5 minute fad only to be never played with again...

Here are my top ten, interested to hear what everyone else's are ( my kids are almost 5 and 20 months)

(In no particular order)
The trampoline
The train table (which has swapped between a Fireman Sam Table, a lego table, a cars table)
Decent textas, pencils and colouring in books, craft paper
Chalk
Board games
Outdoor climbing frame/cubby house
Lego
Puzzles
Octonauts stuff (these are our bath toys)
Blow up swimming pool


Waste of money (mostly bought by others luckily)
Cheap stocking filler stuff that breaks in 5 mins - eg cheap shop/news agency clutter
Stuffed toys, including those stupid talking bears, talking puppies, dogs etc
Fisher price stuff - once you've got one u don't need another, they all seem to say/sing the same thing
Endless and varied Car tracks (excluding our wooden train tracks as they are always played with)
Playdoh sets - Playdoh is fine but all the plastic shaping crap is excessive and never used
Ride on quad bike - kids prefer the $15 kmart ride on trikes
Plastic fire trucks/garbage trucks etc
Remote control cars, planes etc - battery eaters!!
Cheap textas/paints etc, they last one use
Roller coaster ride on
Plastic outdoor basketball hoop

I'm sure the list will be different for every household!
