Talking Dolls
Talking dolls always have voices that border on evil. And when your child isn’t pressing the talk button over and over again, the doll will randomly start talking on its own, leaving parents driven crazy or totally scared to death.
Sparkly Toys
Little girls like sparkles, so a sparkly toy is a big hit. But within seconds of being opened, that toy will leave sparkles all over your house, yourself and your child. You’ll find sparkles for years to come in places no human should find sparkles.
Puzzles
People love to give kids puzzles despite the fact that no puzzle has ever stayed intact for more than 10 seconds. That’s because puzzle makers don’t think to make their puzzles come with a box. The pieces will end up all over your house, and you’ll always be missing at least one.

Mouth Instruments
Children’s mouths make enough noise, so there’s no need to add a toy instrument to the mix. Kids love to talk. But that pales in comparison to how often they love to play a kazoo, a light-up clarinet or a toy tuba.
Stuffed Animals That Play Music
Holiday-themed musical toys usually play one song. That means you’ll be hearing that song over and over again for a solid two months. You’ll be looking for the off switch on that musical Santa—or snowman bear—long before you get to Christmas.
Toys That Require Heavy Machinery to Assemble
To put any heavy plastic car or table together, you’ll not only need serious power tools, you’ll need a new manicure!

Pretend Tools
In theory, play tools are fun until your kid realizes the play hammer can actually be used as a real hammer.
Large Toys
Unless you live in the Taj Majal, you won’t have room for your kid’s new train set or that adorable indoor tent her buddy got her. But since your kid will want to play with it, you’ll be overrun and have a seemingly life-sized train in your house.
Play-Doh
Not only does Play-Doh dry out, leaving cracked little pieces of itself all over the place, it will get mashed into every crevice of your house for years to come.
Toy Guns
Playing with toy guns is a very polarizing subject. Add to that the annoying battle sounds that come with a toy machine gun, and you are in for a long and loud day.

Ball Popper
The sole purpose of this toy is you push it and it makes loud popping sounds. And it shoots out balls (that you'll have to clean up). That’s all it does!
