I know there was another thread on this, but I can't find it now (are there forum gnomes, like underpants gnomes?), so here's a new one.
Post your ideas for toys!
They can be adorable without being terribly functional. An example: the Glitchmas Yeti, which says phrases, but which does not run around eating pigs at night or anything.

Some of my ideas, and please forgive me if these have all been posted before...
Hula hoops! Aside from the usual spin-around-the-pot-belly move (which could be a bit of a pain to animate), we could jump over or through them, or try to roll them along next to us, or hoop other people as they walk past, the way we can water other people with watering cans.
Balloons, with or without helium: great as party decorations, floating above our heads, or for batting back and forth. Twist them into balloon animals and other shapes.
Jack-in-the-box! Turn the crank to see something silly pop out, like a clown, a cactus, or a picture of stoot.
Gyroscopes! They'd be sort of cool to look at while we're on purple.
Spinning tops! Fun to watch, or use them to attack your...
Rook dolls! Why not? Pull a string, hear them squawk, and drop them hastily as they try to scratch you.
Dice, for use in any game we make up. They're easy to code, and we could hang fuzzy ones in our...
Toy cars, planes, and trains! They could have appropriate sound effects and fly or drive around us as we walk.
