Regular ritual at the end of the day, assistant / teacher running after you with a small bag of Dora or Mickey Mouse or other children's character, willy warmers you try to avoid, but it blocks you gate. "Take the surprise birthday today." Well, we fell. Again Bamba Chocolate wafer and "hftah "Toy shekel. willy warmers All attempts at diversion of the toddler, he would not bag in vain, when he spots the bag of colorful surprise and takes it himself.
These surprise bags embody willy warmers all that is wrong with our Western consumer culture today: nylon, plastic, sugar, salt, colorings and Toy shekel. Much packaging, a lot of junk, minimum investment, minimum Thought, maximum utilization of operating in China and short-term pleasure as possible.
Big toy stores have rows of toys designed L"hftot Birthday. " You can identify them by price attached to each line - $ 3, 5 NIS, NIS 10 Lmskianim. Usually it's some plastic ball at best medium car case or which toy directing something or splashing water at worst. Thing is These toys are not worth a dime. throughout their life short, the assembly is poor and the quality of the plastic is very low. All this contributes to the life span of five minutes willy warmers on Friday through the garden home, and again there is a child crying over a toy gets broken. "Daddy fix me," Dr. cry not understand why her father Almighty can not fix a small toy from China.
What surprises me? All parents grumble about this but feel an obligation to put it in a bag of surprise. Why did you need a bag surprise? The teacher said. This is a social convention that appeal. Who needs this nonsense? Parents willy warmers do not want to spend much money, then buy a dime, and the other parents get upset over one-time toy. "This is for the pleasure of the child, he received something in return for participation birthday willy warmers celebration," they said. What a pleasure to have a toy that holds five minutes and broke? Dreidel stops spinning after 5-10 tension? Truck that stopped to go after a few attempts? Only heartbreak comes out of it.
There are parents who try and investors. One of the mothers in the first year kindergarten birthday bag attached disk conducted with children's songs. Dr. loved to listen to that CD at home, and very expected if the disc from next year. For some reason, the next year was Toy shekel, probably gave up.
This at least gave me the opportunity to teach the Dr. at two the words "not quality". Today she had learned to ask, "Dad, this is a toy from China?", When it intends to toy about to break. Seizing these opportunities, on Friday afternoon, before I put her to sleep to sleep, telling her that quality toys produced in China and are very cheap, but break down very quickly. She still does not understand why someone willy warmers produced a child toy will break down immediately after opening the package. I do not understand.
So maybe we decide between us, parents, to cancel this dumb practice, primarily helps importers gain (selling willy warmers plastic ball 3 NIS and still do POS) and mostly fills our garbage cans and landfills. Decide that more toys shekel. Every child gets us Gift kindergarten birthday, funded from a PTA., I think that's enough. should not also give each child 22 Gifts shekel for every birthday held throughout the year. spare time (searching for gifts), willy warmers we can save money to spare, unnecessary junk and mostly frustration of the child broken toy.

I think in general what needs child who has a birthday should bring a gift? He should get a gift!!! His birthday is. Talk to the teacher and advise her to do such a thing - every time there is a birthday in the garden, advance notice willy warmers to parents by the notes, and they will send only weighed one with the child and his / their morning or two shekels .. then the teacher will acquire the owner birthday gift from the garden willy warmers and the children in it, with great love. This toy will last longer, his child has a party - will be very happy. And everyone is happy. After all .. even those considered his birthday gave the turn will come and they will receive a gift equals. Not so???

Or make as your wife does - and spend quite a bit more divorced and a quarter - ultimately not about 300 gifts - all 30 ... So bottom line - in the expense of birthday - it really willy warmers matter if we invested NIS 90 or NIS 180? Then - if you really struggle - can be found for example a palette of watercolors with brush - NIS 5., Or a coloring book Buki toys with markers that cost us NIS 9. Like me, my conscience is clean. Incidentally, this custom is older than us and there is something endearing to me - just need a little imagination and a willingness to spend a tiny bit.

As a parent older children, I've forgotten the question ... we always tried to give something of higher quality - not a toy candy but more successful (eg flashlight, colored pencil, willy warmers magnifying glass ...) but I really support your idea
Previous willy warmers kindergarten teacher vetoed complete surprise bags. Not necessarily because the shekel toys, but rather, willy warmers because of all kinds of "Mothers Ramat Aviv" totally freaked out and bought each child a gift at 50 NIS. Every parent's birthday got very defined list of what to bring refreshments (that here was a bit out Mforofortzih) and was asked to bring garden gift book.'s it.
Well, tore me up, of course. Here is a bit different. We decided not to bring candy garden, only a small gift. Indeed, all parents misers who are willing to invest more weight divide them winning. So last year we received 10 of their fairy trumpets fell after a puff and that basket being clicked on it and white ball flying from inside willy warmers the vehicle only after a year cleaning of P.
