    anything is a toy if you play with it

    I’d say it refers to any item purchased specifically for fun or entertainment rather than for any kind of practical purpose

      I disagree. The line between tool and toy blurs. It’s strictly a tool if you only have it to accomplish work. It could be considered a toy if you add embellishments to it, or if you are toying with it in the moment.

      A stick of dynamite could be a toy, if you are brave dumb enough.

        A stick of dynamite could absolutely be considered a toy if you’re only using it to blow up something for fun instead of something that actually needed to be blown up for some legitimate reason

        Same for tools!

        I’m glad we could come to an agreement 😄 🤝😄

      This implies that toys can’t be homemade

        Good point! They absolutely could be homemade as long as the item in question is just for fun!

        Or that things initially obtained for a practical use can’t also be used for recreation or amusement.

    Anything used for play is a toy.
