A few years ago toy land got really dirty.  I’m not talking about toys that are in poor taste, but real dirt.  Gone were all the classic clean-up toys. Our favorite – the vacuum cleaner was from Fisher-Price that had a light (friction activated) and little tiny balls (dirt).   I can go on at great length as to why this was the perfect toy vacuum cleaner…no batteries required, cause and effect, pleasing without being too noisy, etc….but someone, somewhere decided to do away with this little marvel.  This year we saw a renewed commitment to housekeeping!  Interestingly, we saw many a toy iron.  This one is a new setting from Step 2.
