Then it is kind of a disaster because LO is so sad and I wish no one gave us those toys in the first place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-plastic-or-breakable-type-toys-get-broken-often#post-2605084 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 21:07:52 +0000 808love 2605084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Good ole zip ties! I didn't even know those existed until three years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-plastic-or-breakable-type-toys-get-broken-often#post-2604947 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 16:26:32 +0000 PawPrints 2604947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one kid, 16 months, and we have yet to experience a broken toy. She's fairly gentle with stuff, with the exception of loving to bang everything against the glass balcony door, which we obviously discourage.</p> <p>---Except crayons. Lots of broken crayons. She tried to get me to put it back together the first time that happened. So sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-plastic-or-breakable-type-toys-get-broken-often#post-2604827 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 13:35:22 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2604827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh lord. My son has broken a lot of toys. Mostly cheap crappy ones. He is super rough on stuff (a lot of car crashes at high speeds!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-plastic-or-breakable-type-toys-get-broken-often#post-2604817 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 13:24:16 +0000 looch 2604817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had some things that have gotten broken, namely a remote control car, but that's because of the stunts that my son was doing with it. Thank goodness for zip ties to repair it.</p> <p>My son's pretty decent with caring for his toys, though, I have to say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-plastic-or-breakable-type-toys-get-broken-often#post-2604782 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 12:56:58 +0000 Chillybear 2604782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine plays nicely with her toys and even close to 3 I can only think of a few things that have gotten damaged. My 4 yo niece on the other hand is so rough and destructive and will break things and hide the evidence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-plastic-or-breakable-type-toys-get-broken-often#post-2604758 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 12:35:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 2604758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toddler knocked a rolling baby toy off a low shelf and it broke- it was just plastic and I'm actually surprised it did break. She was really upset and kept crying and asking us to fix it. Other than that not much, but I feel like toys for such little ones should be pretty indestructible. I'm sure it will happen as she gets older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-plastic-or-breakable-type-toys-get-broken-often#post-2604734 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 12:13:02 +0000 catlady 2604734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really thought about this, but no, she has never broken a toy. I think she's be really upset if she did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-plastic-or-breakable-type-toys-get-broken-often#post-2604731 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 12:10:48 +0000 PinkElephant 2604731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the only things my DDs, 2&amp;4, have ever broken are the legs off an Ariel Barbie doll and some plastic tiaras. They were too young for the toys at the time and were trying to bend them in a way that didn't work. Otherwise, touch wood, we don't have real damage or destruction. DD2 has a friend who is always ripping parts off dolls, writing on other toys, etc. I have to be selective about what is out when she's over. I think it all comes down to personality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-plastic-or-breakable-type-toys-get-broken-often#post-2604728 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 12:09:32 +0000 ValentineMommy 2604728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 boys (so lots of rough-housing and fighting over toys), and nothing has ever really broken. Missing parts - definitely. But broken, no! Fingers crossed it stays that way lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-plastic-or-breakable-type-toys-get-broken-often#post-2604688 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 11:33:47 +0000 808love 2604688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's toys rarely, if ever, break. Her friends came over and were pretty rough with the dolls. I read an article that talked about siblings sharing toys and it made it sound like breaking toys happens often. So just curious... My brother and I had separate toys so I don't remember them breaking. </p>
