There are two new refugee families who recently arrived from Iraq with almost nothing in their hands. Some private donors sent money to provide a few toys for the kids and, after consulting with the parents, we got to go toy shopping!
Wust al-balad was, of course, the place to go. We spent almost 4 hours perusing the factory vomit, and enjoyed a few of our finds:
Dolls are hugely popular. Especially dolls that "will produce a sound with the light."
And dolls with highly unnatural hair color. It is extremely hard to find dolls with dark hair in Jordan. Light hair is really prized.
Kids are never too young to learn the value of hard work.
The box on this one says, "Let Our Children More Hardworking"
That was definitely made in China.
And finally, we have American Dream meets Jordanian Dream.
