I need to know everything about babysitting kids aged 1-6. I need to know about every age, games for each age, meals and links for food I can cook kids (healthy), advertising, tips for every age, and maybe a few of your babysitting stories if you want to write them. I prefer very big answers like 2 big paragraphs. Thanks!

Picky about your kids' toys?
Theodore M
Does anyone dislike the selection at Toys R Us? I am really picky about my son's playthings! I love stuff that not everybody else has. Not only that, but toys that allow for open-ended play that engage his imagination and thought. So many toys today do too much for the child. I am always looking for people to talk to about this, so if you are someone like me, please respond and let's discuss this!
Answer
Ever seen a kid spend more time playing with a cardboard box the toy came in?
Give your kids tons of balls... big, little, bouncy, lightened, fuzzy...
Some good books...
Plenty of cardboard boxes, paper towel tubes, paints... pots, pans... stackable spoons...
Depending on your child's interests: lego, erector sets, pretend play things...
That assuming your child does not mouth everything.
Buy at garage sales and thrift shops, they are a dime a ton, and you can donate those you don't like
When your child is at the imitation age, get them old cell phones and other imitation stuff...
Get different textures and shades... toy stores don't have them... I remember myself as a 6 month old and can tell that my perception of color at that age was much deeper than it is now. Just because basic colors are instant attention grabblers (i.e. best sellers) does not make them more stimulating.
Bikes, walkers... bath toys...
One of the best things you can get is one of these: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=%D1%88%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%B0&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2
I have no idea how these are called in English, if at all; we call them "Swedish Walls". They've been clinically proven to accelerate 1-year-olds' mental development, along with physical, as at this age physical and mental development is highly correlated; and they can fit even in the smallest apartment.
Hard to be specific without knowing your child's age.
