I need the most annoying toy for a 5 year old

[IrritatingToy]

My sister and I are in a war of annoying toys, she bought my 3 year old a set of mini bagpipes.. I need the most annoying but equally awesome for the child at 5 years old. I want something that she’s going to despise and he’s going to love. Budget about £100. I’m not unreasonable but she was to buy mine bloody bagpipes!!

My child had this. It is incredibly annoying. On the plus side, she was scared of it, so it was disappeared!

Tin drum

Remote controlled farting machine?

The Frozen recorder set and a massive tub of glitter.

Kayoke machine?

Or six pence..sorry couldn't resist.🙋

Accordion. Thank me later! 🤣

Haha my autocorrect clearly thinks im politer than I am

I thought this was some kind of olden days remote control operated only by farthings or producing farthings. 🤣

An electronic dance mat. They’re hideous.

My sister bought my son a harmonica. I nearly threw out the window the other week!

That could be an extra for DNephew’s birthday this month. I mean his mum pays for him to attend expensive music lessons (they try lots of instruments/genres) so she can’t be annoyed!

John Lewis sell a toy accordion my ds had one when he was wee. Also furbies are very annoying especially when they go off on the middle of the night

When I was at uni I had a friend who spent a year in France and she had a French one. I can still hear it now it started “ooh la la…..”

Aw I absolutely loved this for mine, I can hear the little tune now.

Although it did freak me out when it kept randomly going off in the toy box like a possessed Chucky 😆

I once received a small brown jug. Smaller than an iPhone.

I had my step kids visiting after Xmas. We’d bought thoughtful choice gifts for them, tokens if you like. They’re all adults. So, my son and (now) exH were given their gifts. All wrapped in Christmas paper. Books, I think. Choices personal to them. Lovely! And I just sat there smiling like a crazy woman and feeling so embarrassed! Nothing for me…

Then, step daughter rummages to the bottom of the bag and pulls out the tiny brown jug. Unwrapped. She gave it to me and I was astonished. Of course, so as not to be ungrateful (his kids never really accepted me in a 17yr relationship) I said “Oh, thanks so much”. Underneath, on the label, it said DO NOT USE FOR POURING FLUIDS. So… A small brown rustic, unwrapped, unusable… jug.

Clearly, they’d got me nothing and grabbed this off a shelf and chucked it in the bag. “That’ll do”.

I don’t think they liked me 😂 🤔

Ahhh, posted this on the wrong thread!! Not sure how to remove it!! 😂

Annoying toys… anything musical and repetitive should do the trick! Add in flashing lights. Fabulous fun, for all the family.

My son is 25 now. The worst toy he was given was a Bop It. I had to remove the batteries and pretend it was broken.

My SIL ensures anything loud and annoying mostly stays with the givers. A couple of loud and annoying toys have slipped through the net to their house though. Garages where you press something and siren comes on.

Not had time to read full thread yet but some excellent suggestions in early pages....My DC are all older now (how?!) but the things I'm STILL traumatised by:
Worm Farm
Ant Farm
Those plaster digging sets with dinosaur/fossil type things embedded somewhere inside - nothing other than a jack hammer could actually release and the mess-fall out ratio = extreme
loom bands - so innocuous looking but the cause of so many arguments amongst youngest DC....not to mention DDogs eating them and the bloody things messing up roller blades of vacuum
And probably worst offender: The Furby - that I couldn't ever switch off for some reason...and always seemed to go into the horrible mode at bed time, traumatising DD and me stabbing randomly at the buttons to try and get it back from the psychotic function....I need a lie down in a dark room just thinking of that evil fu**er!! 👿

I haven’t read through all the responses so don’t know if someone’s already suggested a set of cymbals. There should be some budget left over for a nice big box set of glitter and one of those giant slime buckets.

Love that she got your kid bagpipes. 😆

You can also get toy megaphones that distort your voice / change your voice as well as amplify it - great fun :)

Digital drumsticks.!

One of those dino masks that you wear and when you open your jaw the mask also opens its jaw and roars very loudly. The child will live in it and instead of conversations it will be loud roars. We had the velocoraptor one which was very loud and very annoying. You can also get a chewbacca one but I dont think thats as annoying

Other suggestions of annoying gifts we have received

• a poo catapulting game (went straight to the charity shop before it was even played with)

-a stink bomb making kit (sadly my child insisted on wanting to make this and hoping for STEM impact I agreed - it was quite revolting. -Pie flinging game (straight to charity shop in horror) but if the kids get to see it they will want to do it.

The bagpipes only offended the ears. You could go full assault on ears, nose and eyes
