For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

    The slinky my middle child got didn’t even survive the day.

    Has anyone had a slinky that survived more than a week?

      When my kids play with slinkies, they’re destroyed within a day.

      To clarify: the slinkie is destroyed. The children remain unchanged.
