Being a child at heart myself plus being a toymaker got me thinking about what every child SHOULD have. Starting with the basics- a safe home, food, clothing, school and whatever learning tools are needed for school (be it home school, public, private…) and of course, love and respect. But beyond that…
My list would start with:
Building toy like blocks or legos.
At least one good doll or action figure, preferably with lots of accessories.
A bike.
At least one outfit that makes him or her feel fabulous.
Books.
Drawing paper, pencils, and paints.
An animal to be friends with. (Not nececessarily their pet or even a pet, but an animal companion/aquaintance of some sort.)
Birthday cake.
The chance to stay up ridiculously late once in a while.
A box to keep small treasures in.
