4 Terrible Toys To Give Your Kids This Holiday Season

With every holiday season comes a new crop of toys. Sometimes, the toy companies outsources their R&D departments to crazy people.

I know, right? Now tell your friends!
4 Terrible Toys To Give Your Kids This Hol...
Sean Curry

1. The Breast Milk Baby - Berjuan Toys

Finally, a present for the parent who wants to give their daughter the looming stress of their biological clock 15 years before they’re psychologically ready to cope with it!

Rather than encouraging your little girl to explore the incredible world around her with a Dora the Explorer doll or kick alien ass with whatever this year’s hot video game will be, remind her that those milk glands are only going to work for so long and sooner or later, she’s going to need to give you a grandchild or two. Sure, school is important, but she’s going to be in fourth grade next year already. Isn’t it about time she starts looking for someone to settle down with?

2. Stylin’ Studio - Girl Tech

It’s more important than ever that children learn how to effectively use today’s rapidly advancing technology, so that they’re competent with current tools and tech by the time they enter the workforce.

And there’s no more perfect way to get girls into technology than showing how it can make them prettier! With the Stylin’ Studio, little girls can primp, pose, and poke at their image until they finally get it the way it should look. Teach them about the wonders of airbrushing this Christmas, and they’ll be emailing the digitally perfected versions of themselves to their friends by New Years Eve.

3. Shape Shifter Punisher - ToyBiz

If you thought terrible toys were only limited to traditionally feminine ones, don’t worry. Boys can get in on this awful, awful party, too.

Little boys today are being brought up in a world that emphasizes empathy over dominance, caring and sharing over violence and explosions, and communication over emotional suppression. What’s a terrible parent to do? With the Shape Shifter Punisher from ToyBiz, horrible parents across America can teach their sons that the only thing that matters is how big their “gun” is. “Shoot” your feelings out of you through your crotch, and be sure to remember that anything that gets your “weapon” up is a target!

[NOTE: To be fair, this is a picture of the toy in mid-shape-shift. The fully-shifted version is much more appropriate. The toy also seems to have been removed from toy stores.]

4. Her First High Heels - Heelarious

Everyone likes a cute baby, and nothing says “cute” like a great pair of Manolos. Introduce your infant daughter to high heels before she’s even aware of the concept of walking with these “soft crib shoes designed to look like high heels”!

The website of the company goes out of its way to stress that the shoes are intended as a joke, are not designed for walking, and will collapse when any weight at all is put on them. Sounds like a great thing to be putting on the feet of a 0-6 month old human who is trying to figure out how to stand upright!

      There was an article in my local newspaper about #1. I don’t really know how I feel about a doll that breastfeeds. I’ve discussed it with two people who disagree with it totally and none who agrees. I don’t know if I’d buy it if I had a daughter but I don’t think there’s anything really wrong with it. If you have more than one then they’re probably going to get used to the idea. If a child is going to play at being a mother then it’s nice to have something out there promoting the healthiest way to do that.

      I fail to see the horribleness of #1. Other baby dolls come with bottles, so promoting a less healthy/natural way to feed a baby is okay for little girls? I used to nurse my dolls and believe me it wasn’t because of my biological clock; I didn’t have kids till after 30, but I did nurse them and grow big healthy babies. Breasts are for nursing not the cover of playboy, I don’t mind my daughter learning that.

      • Sean Curry 7 months ago

        “Breasts are for nursing not the cover of playboy, I don’t mind my daughter learning that.” Absolutely, and I agree. I have no problem with educating children about the biological purpose of breasts (There’s also nothing wrong with them being sexual objects, either. Whatever floats one’s sexual boat.). It’s natural, healthy, and should be less stigmatized than it is.  But why is this doll in a toy store and not a sex ed class? It just seems like another example of reinforcing stereotypical gender roles in children. Boys get trucks, Nerf guns, and video games, girls get dolls to pretend to be mothers with. Why does a 5 year old need to learn about “the magic of motherhood”?

      • Sean Curry 5 months ago

        Just came back to this a month later and wanted to make sure everyone knew I was talking about breasts being sexual objects, not kids. Just… just covering my tracks. That could have been awkward.

      My time with baby dolls was blessedly short. by 8 I was done with them and had moved on to those mini cabbage patch dolls, and they were going on all sorts of adventures, lol. and honestly, I didn’t even really know what boobs were for until age 8 or 9 anyway so it didn’t matter. It just wasn’t something we talked about. I have a cousin who has 3 boys and they ALL knew the glory of boobs from a young age, and she made a joke out of it. It all depends on the kind of parenting you do (and how inquisitive your kids are) that makes 1 any sort of ‘terrible’ to some people.

      Hey, if a little girl wants to play mommy & pretend nurse, she can do it with any baby doll. She doesn’t need one that makes horrible loud sucking sounds and burps. And why the fake nipples? Little girls already HAVE nipples. What they lack are big milk-filled breasts, so why don’t they give them a fake pair of those if they’re so after emulating the experience, and a jar of “my first nipple cream.”

      The first item can come off your list. This is a doll like any other. If you’re concerned about pushing awareness of biological clocks onto little girls, item one should be ALL baby dolls.

      I like 1 and 2.
      Number one since it’s pretty natural. I mean that’s what babies do and what breasts are for right. At least it’s not ‘My first bra’ with super duper padding to mimic a C cup. Plus I’m sure kids have already seen someone breastfeed before. Kids are smart. They know what’s up. Number two is just an extension of playing dress up without having to go through mom’s closet and make-up. Plus it reminds me of the cool program that Cher had on ‘Clueless’ that helped her pick out outfits. Add to that it’s a computer program. Girls should be around computers and it’s nice that someone hasn’t assumed that it would be ‘hard’ for them to use.

      • riefer 7 months ago

        I guess it’s just ‘hard’ for them to use all the other games that are out there. There’s enough focus on how girls and women look. Do we really need a computer program that has no purpose other than to have them focus on how they look? It’s very different from dress-up, which generally has an imaginative component. You dress-up, and then you act something out. You don’t just try on outfit after outfit and that’s it. You’re dressing up for a purpose. What is the purpose of this program?

      Most babies aren’t trying to actually stand until closer to 1 year old. Other than that, those shoes are still a major fail.

    • Spiky Mama 7 months ago

      Children who see their mothers breastfeed often play at breastfeeding their own dolls. There’s nothing about Number 1 that makes it any more inherently connected to the’looming biological clock’ than any other baby doll. Children use baby dolls to practice nurturing and caring for others gently, imitating what is hopefully the good parenting behaviour they see. Like breastfeeding.  All the others, those are terrible.

    • Sarah C. 7 months ago

      Why is 1 terrible? You’re terrible at picking terrible toys…All kids play pretend. Geez… That`s what boobs are for.
