Annoying toys for small children

sobriqueRight, well.
I'm in need of some suggestions for annoying toys for small children. So far I'm thinking messy, noisy or both.
But wait, erm. Yeah.
My lovely sister (She who posts as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
csi_ellie occasionally) had a baby this morning.
Will be called Logan, and was born at 0302, and weighed 8lbs 12.
I have no idea if that's good or not, but I figure it's heavier than a steak (even a really big one), so that's probably not a bad thing.
Convenient timing I feel, as it's just in time for Fathers day. (By the way slackers, fathers day is the 15th of June. That's 2 weeks)
So anyway, I feel it's my duty as uncle, and annoying older brother to ensure little baby Logan is corrupted and given every opportunity to annoy the hell of of his parents. (Just watch, I'll get a restraining order in the post in a few days).
To this end, I'm thinking:
Glitter.
Fingerpaint.
Playdough.
Things that make noise. Especially those that aren't battery powered, and can't therefore 'run flat'. Like rattles. And recorders.
Anyway, congratulations Ellie and Gaius.
(BTW, Google Calendar is awesome. Does anyone else use it? It works quite nicely with GooSync too, to synchronize with some phones, like my N95)

Date: 2008-06-02 09:23 am (UTC)We have a duck pond game - the 12 ducks rotate around a 12" round duck pond and you have to take turns picking up a duck to see if it has your coloured shape on it's backside. Unfortunately it makes a quacking noise as the ducks rotate around, and has no time limit. They often press the button to start it going and walk off leaving it quacking away...
