Is a building kit with magnets 'crap' ?
Is a doll 'crap' ?
Is a hand powered fan 'crap' ?
Are colouring books 'crap' ?
I think a ton of small toys are tremendously fun, can help discover different mechanisms, and help grow a kid's mind. Limiting the variety and amount of toys can end up fine, but from the parent POV it's a bit sad really. Especially when by definition we can't anticipate what for any specific kid will be a hit and what won't.
