It is pleasing that normal household objects are still accepted as hours-of-engrossment toys, despite being made of mere beige plastic rather than five different bright colours of plastic with eletronic noise-making addenda. The usual draw when visiting the west coast grandparents is the wee push-along plastic lawnmower but the dustpan and brush are occasionally accepted, the tilting design meaning that some of the swept-up bits actually stay swept-up.
