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: 2008-06-09 09:45 am (UTC)Logan is much larger than a steak, and i would not suggest you try eating him.
Gaius and I are quite happy that Logan can make enough noise by himself at the moment but when you come and baby sit you can find that out for yourself. We are teaching him to be evil and so far he has weed on himself and is trying to get us both as well.
Give me a ring when you want to visit your very cool nephew
