smaller than a breadbox

Imagine that you are able to travel backwards in time, and visit yourself when you are seven years of age. You're surprised that you're a remarkably cute kid, and it troubles you, slightly, that you're not really all that different from how you are today.

But it turns out your quest is to give your seven year old self a toy. The toy must be smaller than a breadbox, and it must cost less than twenty five dollars in today's money. But with the wisdom of age and way too much mileage, you think your seven year old self will just love it. What do you give? Tell me about it, with such whys, wherefores, and what-have-yous as you might use to grace my comments page.
