Spider-Man is great, but when he won't stop shouting catchphrases about shooting webs when I'm trying to work from home or he starts boasting about the Avengers at 10 o'clock at night (when the kids have been asleep for hours — creepy!), I can't say I'm his biggest fan. I appreciate how entertaining interactive, talkative toys can be, but I'm a huge fan of quiet toys for my 3- and 2-year-olds. It's not just they loud toys are annoying, but playing with quiet toys also helps foster creativity, cognitive skills, and more, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. It's a win for everyone! They can have their fun, and I can have my peace of mind.
