I spent the first 10 years of my life playing with these toys, and I'd play with most of them today.

You don't have to break the bank looking for the latest fad toy for your little one this holiday season. Just check out this list.

It includes Mr. Potato Head, See 'N Say (loved pulling the lever and watching that arrow spin), Barrel of Monkeys, Play-Doh,  as well as any kind of block set and numerous board games.

I'm sure it will take patience to get your child to indulge because the action doesn't take place on a screen of some sort. But keep trying.

Toys powered by imagination are the best!
