OT-Noise Maker
Hey all,
I know Christmas is a long way off but I like to start shopping early. Anyway I have 2 nephews belonging to 2 different brothers of mine. One is 3 and the other is 2. Being single and not having kids, I thought it would be fun to buy the 3 year old a set of drums for Christmas. Much to my brother's dismay, my nephew loves them. And they make a lot of noise. Well this year it's the 2 yoa's turn. My other brother says I will be banned from his house (not really) if his son gets drums too. So instead of drums, what else can I get him that makes a lot of noise? I thought of a kiddie guitar with a loud amplifier but I'm open to any ideas. Actually this is going to be more fun than I thought it would. Bob -- Somewhere in Texas a village is missing it's idiot. ANYONE but Bush in 2004! |

It was toddler sized and had a little plastic bench that went with it. She could play it on her own or it would play pre programmed songs. I got it at JC Penney's for about $30. It was an extraordinarily good buy and held up well for a couple of years until she outgrew it. And best of all annoyed the heck out of my brother who had to sit through rehearsals and concerts every night for months. :-) I TOLD him pay back would be rough. :-) -- Margaret Fine |

a lot of noise? I thought of a kiddie guitar with a loud amplifier but I'm open to any ideas. Actually this is going to be more fun than I thought it would. Bob Oh, man. The possibilities. For a 2-year-old, any rhythm instrument would be great. A tambourine. A kazoo would be guaranteed to send your brother and his wife straight over the edge. And idiot relative of ours bought our son a bullhorn when he was 3. I don't recommend it. Other gifts very unpopular with parents are Play-Doh and finger paints. Sherry |
