After assembling about 15 toys this past weekend, I can honestly say that I would sooner attempt an appendectomy armed with only a butter knife and a grapefruit spoon then try to put together anything made by Playskool.
I remember those days ... luckily, the only "toy" I got them was a PlayStation2 so I didn't have to put anything together til we got home and hooked it up to the television.
I did, however, have to "make" a paper maker for my mom. She doesn't like the ones in the store so I had to make it using fiberglass screen, wooden 8x10 and 5x7 frames and u-nails .... I begged her to let me by her gold instead
