I'll be trawling the aisles of the annual Toy Fair in New York today scouting out new and innovative toys to share with you all, but, ironically, what's been on my mind lately is non-toy toys. You know, those household items that you think are utilitarian and your kids think are just plain fun. You can kind of take a backseat in seeking out these items in your home - your kids will show you what non-toys they think are great fun, many of which you'll probably confiscate, but some you'll realize are quite brilliant.
