I have purchased a 1/34 scale metal dumpster. I plan to spraypaint it orange and have the Power T on it. I will then put sticks in it and start a fire. I will film that fire with a background that someone can take out so that the image can be used for any and all UT dumpster fire purposes.
Let the shitposting begin.
Ferraris don't cost that much, either.
You can get an RC vehicle like this, called the Terrain Twister. I had one when I was younger.
Here's a $46 version...
You're looking for "battery operated" Thomas trains, not to be confused with the "Track Master" Thomas trains. They fit on the standard wooden track sets and move by themselves.
We have several and they work great. Kiddo loves them.

The Terrain Twister...
Link on Amazon? I want a chanting F-16!
Edit: "currently unavailable" in case there's another dipshit like me out there going to actually buy one.
Edit 2: Ah, yes, the link! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ES5TVYY?vs=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01ARGC5F4/ref=psdcmw_166626011_t1_B00383PO48 well theres this one too
>My absolute price match is $16,000 but would prefer $8,000-14,000.
Okay, sounds good.
>* Tesla anything
????? The only Tesla you can afford is this one or this one.
In all seriousness, it sounds like the best bang for buck in this situation is going to be the Prius or Camry.
5 Ferraris for under $20!
I'd advise sticking to one of the scales used by model railroaders because it means you'll be able to easily add to it year after year. I also recommend avoiding battery powered trains because they're kinda meh whereas trains powered through the rails typically last longer if cared for. So for scales look into O and HO and decide what you think would look best around your Christmas tree.
-------------------
For the traditional O scale train from the likes of Lionel:
here's one for $99.99 but it's a smaller diesel train.
here's a steam version but it's $109.99
------------------
O scale doesn't really come cheap so if you wanted you could opt for the smaller HO scale:
here's a Bachmann set for $85
here's another Bachmann at $92
and another Bachmann at $81
the cheapest Christmas train I could find is from the British company Hornby for $65 this one is OO scale but is compatible with American HO scale as the track gauge (size between rails) is the same. Apparently there's two versions of this and this one is $60.
You should be able to find reviews for all of these products very easily on YouTube.
Found it - link for anyone else curious!
I want to paint so many tiny themed dumpsters now.
Holy shit I had this too. Don't worry, you're not going crazy.
I got it at a toy store over a decade ago. I had Charizard, Blastoise, Blaziken, Sceptile, Swampert, and
a sixth I can't remember (I wanna say it was Electric-type)Typhlosion.I'm going on a very deep search now to find this. I'll edit if I find anything.
Edit: I found this, but this isn't the same as the one I had. It's very similar, though.
Edit 2: I FOUND IT. HOLY SHIT YEAH.
Instantly thought of this.

Ugg, V-Tech is just awful. I would avoid anything by them and most things that require batteries in general. Think not "What can this toy do?" But, "What will my kid be able to do with this?" If a toy can play itself, there is nothing for your kid to do but press a button. Look for more open-ended play items (the most famous open-ended toy is old fashioned Lego bricks). I recommend The Tot Tube. It's deceptively simple but creates an amazing amount of play. It's big enough for all kinds of things and encourages experimentation. Balls, cars, blocks, army guys - all go through it differently and some of it's clear, some opaque so the items disappear and then reappear as they go through. It disassembles into three small tubes (my niece likes to put the tubes on her arms to act like a robot). The items go down differently depending on the height it's held at. It's a toy that lasts and has playability for several ages. If a toddler and five year old can get play out of the same toy then it's a way better investment than a one stage only toy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PFB0JTQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_9mUEwb3NANT4B
If you don't want to spend money on a lasting tube, encourage your kid to play with the cardboard wrapping paper tubes or sometimes new windshield wipers come in fun clear tubes.
i bought these:

They feel like they're made of rubber. Probably won't look too great if painted, but they work well enough.
Here scroll down a bit and it actually has it set up so you can buy all 3 at once
I was actually looking at this model, come check it out at the parking office!

Found this in recommend purchases.
You could get a Christmas train (basically a decoration) for £50~ and set it up around the tree just to test the mood/interest and then expand on it.
But you'll need to know what era/country/scale/railroad company etc he likes to get something specific.
I also saw a Hornby starter set in the middle aisle of Lidl yesterday if you have one near you

This electric Thomas works with the wood tracks I described above.
Just realized I might have to pick this up for our boy now that I know it exists.
We know where you live too ¬_¬
Since you want a Tesla so bad, you should buy this one; it's in your price range and you won't go to juvie for operating it.

There are several very cheap solutions on Amazon.
Here is the desktop version of your link
What kind of trucks got covered in the movie? Big fan of tonka trucks so just wondering if I should check it out.
These things I did at home for free, minus the cost of the books and toys. Less than a therapist if you can't afford one. Feel free to message me if I can help. To clarify, I am selling NOTHING and have no hidden agenda. I just want to help where i can bc it was a struggle for me at first. Hope it helps.
This is an email I sent to my coworker over a year ago when my son was 18 months old. He is now almost 3.
Hi,
Here is my list. I hope the links work or I wasted a lot of time. LOL
Parent Books:
My Toddler Talks: Strategies and Activities to Promote Your Child's Language Development
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1477693548/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is the book I liked the best. To the point, and gave me things I could actually do. And oh my God, it helped so much!!! He learned and grew SO much after I implemented what I read in this book.
It Takes Two To Talk: A Practical Guide For Parents of Children With Language Delays Third Edition
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0921145195/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
kind of long, a lot of detail, but explains types of speech delays and how children learn to speak
The Cow Says Moo: Ten Tips to Teach Toddlers to Talk: An Early Intervention Guide
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1482794403/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This book is alright. There were some ideas in it that I'll use. I'd recommend it if you want more ideas/books after the Teach my Toddler to Talk book
Children Books and Flash Cards:
Little Blue Truck Lap Board Book
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/054405685X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is a great book. There is a lot of action in this book and has a lot of association between animals and sounds. Very engaging and rhyming.
Bright Baby Animals
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0312492480/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
simple words, simple REAL pictures and one picture per page so as to not overwhelm. Great book to teach first words.
Elmo Says... (Sesame Street) (Big Bird's Favorites Board Books)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375845402/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is an action book, so your child would touch their nose, touch their toes, etc. relating actions to words is engaging and also the association helps foster language attrition.
From Head to Toe
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0064435962/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
same as the above book.
Head Shoulders Knees and Toes
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0859537285/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Teaches body parts, has hand movements, rhyming/song My son loves this book

Real pictures and has different materials to touch like rough, sticky, etc. Works well, my son likes this too
My First Touch & Feel Picture Cards: First Words (My 1st T&F Picture Cards)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0756615186/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
same as the above, just other words
DVD’s:
Baby Babble Beginning Words
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015NERXBQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So, some speech therapists say to have NO screen time. Well, I put this on when we’re on long trips or if my kids just wants to chill. There are several different dvd’s in this series. I have 3. He said some words he’s never said before after watching these. I would recommend engaging WITH your child while watching these if you can. If you can’t and you’re driving somewhere, then so be it. It still helps in my opinion.
Baby Signing Time
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DHMCVKK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this. I used this w/my daughter too. Taught them both a lot of super helpful signs and words. The video is super cute and the songs are great too. My kids both love this DVD. I would definitely get it. In fact, I bought it twice bc the first dvd got scratched up due to use.
Toys to encourage speech and language development:
4.5" Set of 6 Wolf, Lion, Owl, Penguin Wild Animals Plastic Nesting Dolls
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L2UAVA0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is great. My kids love this. It teaches the animals, sizes, opening, closing. in and out. super cute.
Tot Tube Playset - Toy Car and Ball Tunnel Ramp Race Track by Inspiration Play
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PFB0JTQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My kids LOVE this. super simple but fun. Teaches taking turns, action words like "go" and "fast", use words like "ball" and "car" and "bounce"
Melissa & Doug Zoo Animals Sound Puzzle
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0029N2NLU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
In general, speech therapists don’t like toys that make sounds, but this puzzle my son loves and I make the sounds with him, he mimics me, so it works. Also, there is a high association with puzzle making and language development. So we work on puzzles a lot and he’s gotten a lot better at them. It helps also to say “tuuuurn” to turn the puzzle piece and that kind of thing.
Melissa and Doug Jumbo Paint Brushes
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000M5J7W0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
We bought water paint and have a big big roll of paper that we cut big pieces off and lay on the floor. We paint and he uses these easy to handle brushes. I’ll say words like “let’s paint” and “gentle” and I’ll name colors (but do not expect him to learn them). I’ll make a face or something and tell him what I am drawing. Called “self talk” or I’ll do “parallel talk” doing this too.
Melissa and Doug Latches Barn Toy
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B1V12KS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I HIGHLY recommend this toy. Probably my favorite. There are activities in the Teach your Toddler to Talk book that I used with this toy. You say things like “Pig in” or “open door” “pig says oink oink” so it teaches actions, animals, sounds, and the latches are entertaining for opening and closing. It’s engaging. Super cute.
Melissa & Doug Hide and Seek Wooden Activity Board With Wooden Magnets
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014E7DIS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I’d recommend this toy too. You can say things like “what’s behind the barn door?” or “where is the dog?” or “cookie!” and pretend to eat the cookies. Super super cute. Has helped him with several words.
Wonderworld Rainbow Sound Blocks - Stackable Hollow Shape Block Toys - 7 Piece Set https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005BHUU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
we love these too. They make sounds and are different shapes and colors. We use these alone and with other blocks. We say things like “up” and “put on” and “uh-oh” “fall down” “pick up” “shake shake shake” He likes these, so does my daughter
kilofly Kids Mini Band Musical Instruments Rhythm Toys Value Pack [Set of 12]
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C84SUUM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is just fun. The kids like to make music. The whistle helps with oral muscles. The music helps and you can sing songs with it. You can say sounds like “boom boom boom” and “cling cling” and then use songs that help with rhyming and such that I have in that list for you.
And then just bubbles. Buy bubbles. Teaches breathing control and the words “bubble” and “pop” then you can teach the sign for “more” when your child wants to blow more bubbles. Because you’re supposed to close the bottle each time and then they will want more and you say “More?” and then you sign it at the same time and then you say “Oh, more, okay!” and open it up and blow more bubbles and repeat until they start signing or asking for “more” or “more bubbles” or “bubbles” or “open”, etc. So buy bubbles. Lol.
My son loves basketball so we teach him “bounce bounce bounce” and “shoot the ball” and “make a basket” although he only says “ball” so far. But its something he really really loves.
We go on walks and point things out. Or if we are at a fountain or something we sign and say “water, water” and just keep repeating it. Every once in a while he will say “wah wah” so that’s something. More than we had.
He can say “juice” and he would say that for every liquid he wanted. So in the book, it said to give choices. So I make a cup of milk and a cup of water. And I say “do you want milk or water? “ or I say “milk or water” and I sign milk and water when I ask. Then he will say and sign “Milk” which he NEVER did before. But that was bc I gave him 2 choices and neither was juice so it forced him to tell me what he wanted.
Anyways, I hope this helps. I did a LOT of research and reading on the types of toys to get and HOW to encourage talking. So hopefully I have saved you some time. I can tell you it’s worked wonders for me. He went from saying 3 words to saying like 20 in 3 weeks. It’s a work in progress but I feel really good about the direction we’re headed.
Let me know what you decide to buy and do. I would love to hear about your progress.

Opening: sweet sweet lemonade with some subtle, creamy, lavender undertones.
Drydown: sweet vanilla tonka bean with spicy-woody hints of cardamom and juniper.
Entirely inoffensive. Decent choice if you're looking for a sweet tonka cologne with a sweet bottle. Doesn't get me excited the way that my favorite fragrances do so I likely wouldn't wear it very often. Probably won't be spending my own money on it.

First, decide on your scale. HO, N or Z. Then, decide whether you are modelling any particular country. If not, you can pick up for example the Christmas Train packs for quite cheap. That will give you an analogue controller, a loco, and a loop of track. Hornby (OO scale, compatible with HO track), sells their Christmas train pack for 81 euro om Amazon.de...

All DC analogue locomotives are compatible with each other. Digital (DCC-fitted) locomotives will not run on analogue track. DCC locos expect a fixed high voltage. Analogue locomotives expect variable voltages. Some digital systems will allow you to run a single analogue locomotive along with the other digital locomotives. If you want to play around with digital, again I suggest looking at a DCC starting set. Hornby has one coming in for around 200 pounds...

This is one of my favorite infant/toddler toys of all time. Have them roll lots of objects (blocks, balls, cars, cubes, food, whatever) down and see which moves fastest. Have them change the angle and try again. Talk about patterns they begin to see. Use it to play telephone or as a telescope. With infants, roll a ball through slowly in front of them to help develop the concept of object permanence. I have 3 kids 3 and under and they all love this thing!
