Do baby business cards make good pretend toys?
A second topic The Juggle brought up briefly was children’s interest in toys that allow them to mimic adult behavior, like toy cellphones and briefcases. And sure, kids will definitely get a kick out of having their own business cards to pass out, just like Mom and Dad. However, perhaps a cheaper and safer solution might be to give kids blank cards to decorate with crayons (and with pictures, not their names) and let them play with and pass those out. Mom or Dad can make up family business cards with only adult contact information, and everyone can stay safe, happy, but still in touch. For more on “just like Mom and Dad” toys, check out the national Children’s Toys Examiner’s great article on the LeapFrog Text & Learn toy PDA.
