Answer 6

My 35 year old husband plays with toys- Legos, board games, cars, you name it.  Not a big deal. That is why men have children-to play with their toys!  He still reads comics too, video games, Star Wars figures, etc.

Answer 9

There are grown men who play with "Star Wars" stuff & toys still.  

Answer 10

Depends on the toys - is it something like a remote controlled car or is it dolls and make-believe stuff?   I think there are toys that are aimed for an older demographic of children and that would be okay, puzzles, video games, models, and building sets.

If a 14 year old is still playing with dolls or little farm sets or doll houses I would probably try to get them interested in something else.  

Answer 11

All sorts of toys - you've got creative toys (lego) and Toy toys (action figures and such.  Even though that 2nd group sounds childish, it's probably no more so than toys that adults are expected to play with - MP3 players loaded w/horrible music, computers that adults pay thousands of dollars for and neither need nor understand, loose women, Fantasy Footbal, Strat Baseball, etc.

The real problem is those guys who buy toys and obsessively keep them in the box.  Remember Al from "Toy Story 2"?  You get the idea.

So, there's never anything wrong w/good lean fun.  As a "Star Wars" collector will say "Play every day like it was a day to be long remembered".

Answer 12

Depends on the toys.  I played with Legos FOREVER.  I can't wait for my son to grow up so we can build lego's together.  

From what I have seen, its okay, unless the child is showing signs of not wanting to do more adult things.  Example, if child can't sleep with out toy.  

Answer 13

I wished I'd been able to play with my toys still at that age, but I had an older sister who made me ashamed to want to have toys.  Childhood is so fleeting.

Answer 14

sure why not? I play with my 2 year olds toys more than he does sometimes.  And heck, my dad is in his late forties and has a collection of remote control helicopters he still flies around the house making dive bomb noises and humming flight of the valkyrie (I love my dad)

Answer 15

h**l yeah
