What was your favorite toy growing up?
 |
| I had many similar to these and I kept them in a wooden box that had a lock on it. I loved them and wish I still had them. |
A stuffed dog. He was known as pink puppy (though he stopped being pink after the nurses sterilised him during a hospital stay) and went everywhere with me. A much loved animal.
ReplyDeleteAnd I chose him myself. My parents took me to a toy store and lined up a selection of stuffed animals. I chose pink puppy. They mixed the toys around - and I chose him again.
I had a beautifully made golliwog. Crumbs not PC nowadays but he was gorgeous. Just thought of him like a teddy bear, not a person. Not sure what happened to him. My other favourite was a fairy doll, she was so pretty.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what happened to them, I think my Mam threw them out when she moved. Wish she had asked me if I wanted them. I'm such a hoarder I would still have had them.
My dolls....my family of dolls.
ReplyDeleteI had a barn set--the barn, the farmer couple, all the animals. My Uncle Al gave it to me for Christmas and loved it.
ReplyDeleteI honestly did not have lots of toys and cannot remember a favorite, but I did love my real dog! I had a little doll collection but they were for putting on the shelf and not playing with.
ReplyDeleteA metal dollhouse with all the furniture:)
ReplyDeleteA very large panda bear that started my lifelong love of pandas. I still have him in a special place in my home.
ReplyDeleteI have a doll that I named Sally that supposedly came from Santa when I was 4. I'm pretty sure that my uncle bought it for me as my parents were in dire straights that year.
ReplyDeleteI had a stuffed Pluto dog and actually still have it. We used to have one of those dolls you show - can't think what would have happened to it.
ReplyDeleteLike Olga, mine was a plastic farm though I don't remember the farmer couple, only the creatures. I often took the farm animals to bed with me, especially the horse.
ReplyDeleteAction figures. I still collect them!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I also took toys to bed with me. And lost them :(
ReplyDeleteAm I losing my mind or did I not answer this the other day? lol Perhaps it was on FB that I shared my love for the Tiffany Taylor doll. Hmmm... :)
ReplyDeleteThe barn cats. They were my favorite playthings, but I could never figure out why they all ran away when they saw me coming? ;-D
ReplyDeleteModel horses, which are in a storage place right now - there are so many! Then there is a hand-down old tatty velvet doggie somewhere in there too...
ReplyDeleteI had a tin full of batteries, light bulbs and wires, and I loved making little circuits and stuff like that.
