DD1's old pogo stick. It could fell an ox nevermind an intruder.

An Aldi Pascal the parsnip, it's my cat's favourite toy!

I bought realistic looking hand guns for Halloween that fires off shell casings so think I could bluff my way through a stand off.

Great question.

Do cricket bats count as toys as we’ve got lots of them.

If not, I’ll choose the play kitchen - lots of heavy wooden food missiles in the cupboards, can hide behind it and then finally launch the whole thing at the baddy.

We haven't many toys here. I think there might be an ancient 'Stay Alive' board game somewhere - I'll take the marbles out of it and scatter them on the floor so the intruder, hopefully, falls on his arse.

One of my DS's caused a lot of pain to the other by pressing the extender button on one of those retractable Nerf guns when it was just in front of his brother's face. There was a lot of blood.

No kids toys here as mine are too old so they would have to get beaten to death with a vibrator

BeMintFatball · 24/10/2025 18:23

The dog’s Kong toy. Tough plastic ball shape with a tennis ball inside and 2 sturdy handles for good grip. It’s weighty for clobbering 😂

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 24/10/2025 18:25

Hitachi magic wand, that thing has some hefty to it. Plus the plug always gives me a small electric shock afterwards.

What do you mean "Not that sort of toy?"

YYYDlilah · 24/10/2025 18:28

Water pistol. The burglar is a cat.

Deliveroo · 24/10/2025 18:30

Lego. I have an endless supply. And I’m assuming that the intruder would of course have the good manners to remove his shoes on entering.

Imfat · 24/10/2025 18:32

Connect 4 game.

I’d whack ‘em over the head with the toy broom.

Silly Sausage.

MissyB1 · 24/10/2025 18:38

My light saber of course!

Something that plays Baby Shark very loud, on repeat.

Beat me to it!
The black one.
So they can’t see it coming in the dark.

So to speak.

Does "toys" include sex toys?
