New Items: Distracting Toys!

Settle down, everyone, please - Gefyra, don't pester Katalyma! Ydroplano, shh, that's not a sea monster, it's just Bonnie's singing.
I know that the endless cacophony of pirate shanties this time of year can be overwhelming. Frankly, they're grating on my nerves, too - and it isn't helping that Tethys won't stop belting loudly into every seashell she finds, trying to drown them all out. Some of us have Kith who need a quiet place to nap! Hmph. At least this month, we have the Hope students contributing some actual musical ability - but don't get me started on the crew's off-key renditions of those carefully-crafted lyrics.
Anyway, I've spent many hours meticulously engineering a new set of toys, which should hopefully help calm you all down - even though your nerves are understandably rattled by the fact that Bonnie is now starting on Verse Seventy-Seven - and I think that together, we should be able to have an actual pleasant afternoon.
First up, we have this Barrel of Seamonkeys, which is my own take on a toy from the Enchanted Forest. I remember how stressful that visit was for everybody, so I thought we might want to make better preparations. If it's still upsetting, you can cuddle this My Little Seahorse instead. I ran multiple tests to ensure that it would be comfortable to hug, even for those Kith who have very small fins.
I have also crafted some Netting Dolls.There's one of them for all of you, if you just keep opening them up. Now nobody needs to fight over toys anymore-
No! Stop trying to claim the individual toys with flags! The DIY Flag Kit isn't supposed to be used that way, but… Fine. At least it's a distraction from Verse Seventy-Eight.
Finally, here are some Deluxe Sand Buckets, which can be used to create expert sandcastles. You can also ride in them, or simply have fun stacking them. I spent all of my engineering skills to ensure that, with this assortment of toys, there would be something entertaining for everybody, so-
WHAT. What are you all fighting over? The toys are over here! That's… That's just a wooden Plank that was left over from the toy construction! Why is that the thing that you've all fixated on?
Hmph. Whatever works.

Oh [@Shay]...
Thank you for these lovely and practical toys. Your efforts are never wasted, I'm sure my kith will appreciate every last one of them. I also appreciate the time and thoughtfulness you put into your selections.
Don't worry about the plank, I'm very familiar with unintended popularity over... odd inanimate objects.
Perfectly normal. Really.

Hmm... [@Shay] , here! I have a box of headphones for you and your kith. I'm not really sure how they'll work around bubbles but it can't hurt to try, right? Maybe?

Poor Tethys, must be hard to be heard over all the shanties filtering in from shore.
I'm sure my kith will love...well plank at least. But only once

Ah... unfortunate. Shay, you have my sympathies.
How bad of an idea would it be if one were to... hypothetically... slip some Sleeping Tonic into the ale... just out of curiosity...

Shay's kith are like the cats who are only interested in sleeping in the box the cat bed came in.
