My fav toy never collected dust since it was a purse with a little doll snuggly fitting in its plastic window, made in Germany :)_It was a very good quality bag for the kids to play with and I would never have traded it for the fidget spinner. We didn’t have cell phones and watched TV like half a hour a day. We made doll houses, sew, knit, draw and I don’t think such a simplistic thing like a fidget spinner would have made our day. Would have traded on a piece of fur and would have made a cute attire for a doll. But today is different era of gadgets and electronics. And the fidget spinner I think is a destressing solution like spin – and now what?! play another video game…
