Who needs toys

So often kids choose to play with things that aren't toys. I think we all remember playing with our mom's tupperware or pots and pans. Kids sometimes find a box a toy came in more fun than the toy itself. There have been many times I wonder why I even bother but then I am reminded that kids may not use the toy as intended but most often their imagination is sparked.

She played with the tubs of paint for a good half hour to an hour. That doesn't even include the time we used the paint to actually paint!
