With changing times, everything around the world and around us is changing. Everything is available at a click of a button. With these changing times, there has been lot of changes in children’s toys too. I remember when we were young we use to play more of outdoor games, but with the launch of new Wii and playstation games you can play the same games which once upon a time were only to be played outdoors at the comfort of your AC room. First the books were the only source of knowledge. Now we have CD’s and DVD’s which have made learning so simple and attractive for small kids. Kids of 3-4 years are on the computers playing there compact disks and learning.
It is very good that we are advancing and we have all high tech gadgets, but some where I feel that we are loosing our kid’s innocence at a very early age. That’s my view, what’s yours.

The toy market seems to be booming. It is one product which will never get out of fashion. The variety available is immense. There are stuffed toys for the infants, Barbie dolls and things like power puff girls for the young girls and then we have those Spiderman, Batman and power ranger toys for the boys.
The kids of now days know better what cartoon character is depicted on the toy then us. I feel if I wouldn’t be a blogger I would definitely be in the toy industry. I love the way these people know how to attract the attention of the kids by making the products to colorful and lively, even we elders get attracted to them. When I see my daughter playing with those beautiful Barbie dolls wearing colorful clothes it gives a great feeling.
