What is Shiny New Toy?
1.
The new kid at school who gets all the attention because the kids all want to know what they're like and whether or not they'll be friends with him/her. Eventually, the "shiny new toy" factor wears off in about a week or two and the kid just becomes a normal student.
Kid #1: Hey, new kid! High five!
Kid #2: High five? Pshh, that's lame. Hey new kid, do I get a hug?
Kid #3: Me too! I want a hug first!
Kid #2: Back off, I saw the kid first!
Teacher: Kids, she is not a shiny new toy! Cut it out!
New kid: Umm...I think I'll just be going to homeroom now...
