There is no arguing that today's teens are in a poor state of health. A recent studies point the finger at the toys our kids play with. This year's hot Christmas toys include Next Gen video game systems, Halo 3, Skate, and a range of others games, Hand Helds, Cell phones, ringtones, Computers, Bratz and Star Wars toys, but not a single toy which encourages physical activity or outdoor play.
The survey notes that the most popular toys during the 1970s were mostly related to physical activity; however, the Toy Retail Association site shows that lego toys tended to be the most popular. During the 70's a number of hit toys, which encouraged outdoor play, were hugely popular such as the spacehopper, rollerskates, the Chopper bicycle, stunt kites, and skateboards. Now we are in the age of electronica. Technology is useful, helpful, and fun but it can also make us lazy and stressed.
