G4 kids play advice

[cyberunicorn]

So it looks like I am going to be baby sitting soon.... well ok they are not babies they are 5 and 9 (I think). And I know that the  elder one is on to ponies in general so I was going to put my G4s in to a bucket and let them go wild. (with in reason) They are good kids so I know that they will not damage them. But anyone with kids knows that accidents do happen. I have put a list below of my current g4s and was wondering if there are any that go in the catagory of "put on high shelf out of sight"

Shining armor
Princess candance
Pinkie pie
Flutter shy
Twighlight
Rainbow dash
Rareity
Applejack
Holly blue
Trixie lunamoon
Feathermay
Snowcatcher
Honeybuzz
Applebloom
Sweetie belle
Lilly blossom
Cherryberry
Lemony Gem
Lyra Heart Strings
Sunny Rays
Cherrilee
Star Dreams
Twinkleshine
Zecora
princess celestia (white version)
dimond rose
cherry lee
Princess Luna
Princess Celestia (pink version)
Starbeam Twinkle
Sunset Shimmer

Holly Blue is definitely more of a collector's item than a child's toy so I'd keep her on a shelf. Zecora and Starbeam Twinkle I'd say maybe because they're not that cheap to replace.

I think with all of the others you'd be fine especially the Main 6 characters.

How sweet of you!

Hmm... well these ponies are harder to find now:
Feathermay
Snowcatcher
Honeybuzz
Lilly blossom
Sunny Rays
Holly Blue
Star Dreams
Twinkleshine
diamond rose
Starbeam Twinkle

Don't forget, if anything happens to Zecora, Princess Cadence or her Prince, they are more costly to replace. But you can also gauge the kids' treatment after the first time you see them and see from there =) If in doubt, remember - the Mane 6 are the easiest to replace.

I would suggest hiding all markers, paint, crayons and scissors before you let them go wild with the ponies, at least until you gauge how "improvement" happy they may be.

What a lovely idea

I think if you want them to play there is nothing to worry about but if some of them are perhaps damaged or marked then you would perhaps be safest keeping the ponies which are pricier to replace out of sight - Zecora, Holly Blue and Starbeam Twinkle probably being the main ones.

let them play with Pinkie Pie she seems indestructible, she survives in my house with a toddler and a baby

Thankfully I actually know the kids so it I know they will not destroy them. this is a just in case of accident. 

So its looking like the main 6 are up for the job. thinking about it I should actually have a spare pinkie some place that came with celestia (I think it was pinkie)

[Buzzingbumblebee]

I agree the main 6 is safest ^^. I already have too many pinkie pies . I'm saving my spare main 6 ponies for when my kids are old enough to not destroy them.

I think Zecora is a nice one to keep away from them. Since her tail thats covered in dreads that can become loose very quickly, even I dont dare to touch her much.

See here what I mean.

If the Cheerilee has all four of her legs on the ground, I would keep her away, but if she's in the prancing pose then she's fine (I still see her whenever I go out!)

I'd certainly keep Shining Armor away. Cadence i probably find since they're bundling her in a lot of packages in the future.

Here's the rest that I think it would be ok to let them play with:
Mane 6
Lyra Heartstrings
Cherry Berry (she's the pink one with yellow hair, right?)
Cutie Mark Crusaders
The rest of them might e harder for you to replace if something were to happen to them.

Definitely let Holly Blue and Star Dreams sit this one out. >.<

I've never heard of Holly Blue? Who is she?

[SeashellnBubbles]

I didn't realise Sunny Rays was getting hard to find! But yeah, Holly blue, Zecora (only because of the tail wrap) Lilly Blossom is pretty expensive it seems, and Starbeam Twinkle.
I agree, however that you should bring the mane 6 there and guage how rough they are on them, but they're both of an age where they should be aware of caring about other people's posessions. Great opportunity for learning!

Thanks everyone for the advice.

This is holly blue I think that people also call her trixieshy???? but I don't like the hybrid names. She was the 2012 uk ponycom special pony or something like that I personally just liked the way she looked

Ohhh! She IS pretty! Probably impossible for me to find now. So I'd prob keep her away from the kiddos, just in case good luck with babysitting!
