Year after year, as kids, my sister and I received the same Christmas present. Well, it was more like a variation on a theme; a simple, updated version of a paint-by-numbers print, but minus the numbers. Instead, there were hundreds of lined sections within the drawing, left to be planned out and colored in with a fresh batch of fine-tipped markers.
What I think I loved MOST of all is that my sister and I would spend the whole day meticulously coloring our new masterpieces (usually of the tropical floral variety). And it felt like a tradition to spend time actively doing something while all of the adults from our extended family tended to cooking and socializing.
We certainly received toys that needed power or batteries too...Simon, Easy-Bake oven, Atari pong! But my strongest memory was the wonder and surprise of that print. There was something in it to discover and something to complete.
We value the toy that engages a child, especially those other than the standard electronic gadget. Not to say that electronic toys don't have their place, they just need to be balanced with toys that are tactile, sensory and mechanical and require activation of imagination.
