The battle of the toys

I've been reading lots about toys. We've never been a family that has lots of toys but we did have a few things which really didn't promote playing and extending your play.
We've been slowly whittling down things which have only one use of play. And a lot of plastic.

My other issue was tv. We don't have tv but we do have DVDs and we did put them on in the afternoon.
Well that's gone and limited to a few days and times.
It's not missed at all. Wow.
It might go completely in the summer I can see.

I'm aiming to build a playground outside. Very excited.
