Kids loves toys, who would resist it? Our kids love it too, but they don't have a lot, they just have enough, I think.? We don't buy them expensive ones, kasi walang budget para dyan, hehehe, those that are pricey are mostly given or gifts. So sometimes we set aside a budget for them like Php100 each and let them choose what toy they want to buy in a budget friendly stores like we have here; Novo or Unitop or kakain sa McDo or Jollibee makakuha ng Happy Meal or Kiddie Meal na may toys. Though we like to give them and let them enjoy quality toys, we want them to experience and learn first the importance of contentment and learning how to use money wisely. We are blessed that they don't demand and ask money to buy toys whenever we are in the mall and they are already happy when they got a toy that's Php50 or Php100 worth. Siguro dahil madalas naming sinasabi na, "huwag muna yan, next time, wala tayong budget para bumili", hahaha, so most of the time when they see toys, they will say, "Mama or Daddy, when we have enough money can we buy this one?" And we will encourage them to do 2 things when they want to buy it; pray to God for His provision so that they can buy that toy and wait, until we have enough budget to buy it. #3kidsjourney #simpleandhappyliving #happykiddiemeals #thejourneyoffive

Tip lang po... Wag nyo po sabihin na "walang budget""walang pera".. kids should not know those things. Kasi when the time comes, pag matanda na sila, and they need something really bad, di sila makakahingi sainyo. Ganyan tatay ko eh. Kahit shoes di na kami humihingi, iniipon na lang namin from our allowance... Considering pa na Australian citizen siya ah. Di siya ofw pero ganun siya magsabi na walang pera..

Wala naman educational purposes yung mga toys na binibili mo... Mas maganda yung may matututunan siya. It's ok to spend more basta educational.
