What are your kids’ favorite toys? My kids keep surprising me–especially the boy–with the toys they attach to. My son’s two favorite things right now are his stuffed pineapple (from IKEA) and a Barbie grocery store conveyor belt. My daughter is especially fond of race cars and anything related to Paw Patrol, but she has a much broader taste in toys and is often found playing with doll houses, toy food, blocks, trains, puzzles, dominoes, and basically whatever she can get her little mitts on.
Sometimes I wonder if my son’s odd fascinations are symptoms of his ASD, or if he’s just a little oddball. He’s a huge collector of Hot Wheels and likes to line them up into parking lots (a behavior his sister has copied and so our house is a Hot Wheels minefield), which is definitely typical ASD behavior, but the pineapple–well, whatever it is, that’s my boy. He’s adorable. And he loves that pineapple so, so much.

Sometimes it’s just the texture and color. It is amazing what they cling too.

Yeah, I think that’s right on. He really loves real pineapples, too, and begs for them every time we’re at the grocery store, though he’s not particularly fond of the taste. He just likes to look at them.

Your son and his pineapple are so darn cute. Perhaps he loves the way pineapples look.. It is a pretty majestic looking fruit!!
