Step 1: Just add paint...

Want some toys? ´Just add paint´ should be the Peruvian slogan!

Paint flattened bottle caps. (then string on round piece of wire) = musical intrument

Paint evaporated milk tins = building blocks
(with string) stilts
(with or without pebbles inserted through convenitently located holes on the top) = musical instrument

(My favourite) Paint cross sectional slices of bones = beads.
Advice for interesting beads: Get hold of a spine, and also thiegh bones. These dye in duotone as the spongy type bone on the inside absorbs more paint.

Of course this isn´t to say that they don´t have all the barbies, legos and puzzles too!
