A toddler needs manipulative toys to develop patience and motor control. Blocks to stack, puzzles to fit together, balls to throw and catch, books with pages to turn. Nothing electronic at all.
...lots of unstructured play I surely did have with my slow as molasses bloated Pentium 4 machine with XP and no internet in my childhood. Developed a LOT of patience when downloading stuff from the Net (on 256Kbps, no less!) on one PC and moving it over to my machine.

Hard agree. And a lot of unstructured play. Actually, that should all last well into their pre-teens IMO.

No, let them paint.
I did that and now they want me to buy film for it, which costs a small fortune. And would be even harder to find someone to develop.
Why does it have to be a film camera? A "real" camera can still be a digital one.
There's plenty of places online you can mail film to to be developed.
