Itty Bitty Teenie Weenie Tiny Toys

Once Stevi turned about 4, the toys she started asking for got smaller and smaller.  She started with a small collection of Lalaloopies, one doll will fit in the palm of your hand.

Then she wanted some littlest pet shop animals, not only are they small but their heads come off (sorta creepy!!)  Then there are tiny little My Little Ponies and tiny Care Bears.  So when we were at Target today looking for a reward for her next Good Girl Chart, I figured we would stick to what she already has a collection of, but she really REALY wanted a new collection, they are called shopkins, the smallest of all the things she has asked for.

None of my boys had teeny tiny toys, shoot I didn't have teenie tiny toys when I was young.  I wonder when the itty bitty teenie weenie tiny toy fad started, and why as parents are we buying these small toys.
