Save money on toys.

It is certainly possible and very tempting to spend a small fortune on toys for the kids.
However  thrifty parents would rather save that cash for future education expenses and travel adventures. 

The secret is the 3Rs ,"reduce, reuse, recycle" .
Firstly reduce, don't buy a lot of cheap toys that will break within days but invest in a small quantity of good quality toys. It is also possible to borrow toys from the toy library here. We also save on batteries by using rechargeable batteries.
                          

Secondly reuse:  simple toys can be used in all sorts of elaborate ways which will develop your childs imagination. For instance our daughter has a collection of soft toys that star in all sorts of "pretending
games". She plays school, circus, olympics and pirates with them. A large collection of wooden blocks is also used in lots of different games. 
Thirdly:  Recycle we buy almost all of our toys at thrift shops and garage sales for a tiny fraction of the new price. We have fun making all sorts of toys out of recycled material like plastic bottles and cardboard boxes.   

One of our daughters favourite toys is "Robot Dog" he cost only $1 at a garage sale. He is missing an ear but still is a brave and very economical watch dog. Robot dog in action.
If you want occasionally  buy a brand new toy as a special treat you will find the widest choice and the cheapest prices online.
                           
Remember buy only safe age appropriate toys make sure there are no small parts or other choking hazards. A dog toys for sale at amazon.com buy now.
                                   
It is much wiser to spend more quality time with your child reading and playing with simple toys than to spend that time working to buy expensive toys.
