Children like playing with toys more than anybody else, especially when they have educational value. While parents typically encourage this play, many limit toy purchases due to financial constraints or the natural attraction of a wide range of toys, some of which may not be age-appropriate or fairly priced.
Auggie Gallagher, three, turned a trip to the shop for toys into a lovely display of resourcefulness. In January 2024, his father, Thomas Gallagher, uploaded an Instagram snapshot of himself instructing Auggie that he could only choose a toy that fits in his little palm. Auggie exhibited his determination and foresight by selecting a huge musical toy set, complete with a piano and turntable, rather than a lesser choice.
Auggie tried to follow his father’s instructions and devised a smart strategy to “fit” the item to the rule by lifting the box with only one hand. Taken aback by his quick-witted maneuver, Thomas laughed, pleased with his son’s ingenuity. In an interview, Thomas described Auggie as a clever, determined boy who constantly devises ways to attain his goals.

Even the best-laid intentions may fail in a child’s world, as seen by Auggie’s final choice to abandon the musical toy in favor of a fire engine.
