Teenagers Toys
“I’m too old for that!” toys for pre-teens and teenagers
One of the worst parts of growing up; we all go through a phase where we think we’re a little too cool and grown up for the toys we loved just one birthday ago. Around the age of nine or ten, we go around saying “I don’t watch Sesame Street anymore, that dumb ol’ show is for kids!” Then, of course, fifteen years later we watch an episode with our own kids and laugh our butts off (if you haven’t yet, get on Youtube or something and find some Cookie Monster clips, it’s even funnier for grownups than it is for kids), but during our teen years, and especially our pre-teen years, we’re looking for something more sophisticated, something more “cool”.
Unfortunately, it’s easier to indulge this phase than it is to talk some sense into a twelve year old. Still, there are some pretty neat toys on the market for the not-quite-adults out there. The trick is giving them the kind of toys where they can convince themselves that they’re not toys, they’re action figures, or they’re R/C cars, but they’re not toys.
