Toys from Your Childhood

Thank you for responding me.I think you are right.I am 19,and I will work harder let my parents get a better life.thank you .Haha

well i still have a stuffed animal that I was given around the time of my first birthday I am currently pushing 21 years old and I'm still planning to keep him around and hopefully maybe one day pass him on to my kids when i feel confident enough that they will not destroy it or pull it's head off because it's the oldest thing that i still own from my childhood.

I actually still have a toy from my childhood It was actually a present from my parents when I was born, so it has a lot of sentimental value to me...and it's 21 years old. lol It is a stuffed blue "bull dog" with big white jowls and pink nose, floppy ears...it isn't really a bull dog, I'm not sure what it's suppose to be. I should take a picture of it to share! It's cute!

Sadly, I didn't think of it. I did love my Soma cubes though, and when I found some later, I bought myself a couple of them.

I had some little war machines called "Micro Machines". These ones were produced by Galoob throughout the 90's. I loved these toys, they were like smaller copies of real war machines. Unfortunately, I managed to lose some of them and some got stolen, so I didn't had any left...until now. I saw these on eBay and decided that I will collect them all. It would be a hard mission, because there are dozens of different sets. Looking at these sets brings me back old memories, returns me to my childhood for some time.

Gosh, I don't think I ever thought about my own kids playing with my toys while I was still a child! I did have toys I loved though, like my Baby Alive and my Lite Brite. I guess it's hard to have foresight as a 6-year-old. LOL

the only toy I kept from my childhood is my teddy bear that was actually sent with me to my adopted family..My foster mother had bought it for me for my first Xmas not realizing I wouldnt be with her anymore....I didnt keep it to pass it on though, I kept it for me and at 39 yrs old and after all the city hopping, traveling and moving I've done over the yrs including being homeless as a teen, I still have it.

my mom saved my barbies from when i was young and my daughters played with them for quite a while. (my mom made scads of homemade clothes for them too! but they have grown out of playing with them) i still have my favourite stuffed animal from when i was little too.

The one toy I have from my childhood is my Cabbage Patch doll. Although, she definitely shows her entire 20+ years. She's rather tattered. I did have my blanket from my childhood until the last few few years. I would probably still have, but it disappeared when my daughter was still a baby. There are times when I wish I still had it. I don't think it's really a security issue, but it's my blanket, and I want it back. lol

Like you, I wanted to keep and pass on my dollies, and I actually had 3 daughters, so that would have been perfect :) Only one survived, as my folk had 8 kids and there just wasn't room to keep things we'd outgrown. A few books also survived, and some special children's jewelry. So those, I've passed on to my kiddos :) Karen

Life was difficult when I was young. I had one sister and brother. My parents did not have much money to buy toys for us. But fortunately, we never felt pity or sad. We had our own fun. We made different toys with scrapes. I am always admire myself that how smart we were at that time.

Yes i like toys and dolls very much.i am very fond of them.I have the small cooker,stove ,vessels,dressing table,etc., which i played in my childhood.i gave many toys to children who come to my home.It is just to play .I have them as remembrance.

action man :D

In my childhood,I have had so many toys,when my birthday comes,my parents will bought it for me .I love catoon very much ,such as minnie,winnie.I have a special toy come from my 8th birthday. she is a small toy,I called her little trouble.I kept it at now.and I think I will give it my chind in the future.even though i do not have a baby.I love little trouble very much.In the rest of my toys, I will kept it forever too. I think it represent the love of parents.

I do have some things I saved from my childhood that I would have loved to pass on. Some things, like story books, I have already passed on to my grandchildren. Other things I've saved were my dollhouse furniture (vintage 1950 haha), and my china tea set that my Grandmother got for me. As it is, I only have grandsons from both of my kids, so I guess that tea set and dollhouse furniture might have to stay boxed up. I do also have one doll that made it through. It was one of the first dolls that walked when you held her arms. I got her one Christmas when I was 5 or 6. My kids, as well as grandkids, make me keep her in the attic boxed away. They all say she is the creepiest doll they ever saw (because of the way her eyes move). They call her: Chuckie's sister (after that horror movie lol) Not much else of mine made it through as my parents house got hit by lightning when I was in my early 20's, and most all of my childhood stuff got ruined. Barbie dolls didn't come out until I was about 12 or 13, I still have one in pristine condition in it's original box!

hi dorannmwin well I suppose I must have saved some toys from myh childhood that could have been passed down to my own kids, but they were all part of the house sale when my parents sold out every thing to move to Arizona because of my dad's arthritis, mymom told me she had not realized that I wou ld get married, oh how that hurt, and she would have kept some of my toys and my childhood books, that hurt the worst. the idea that I would never get married because I did not marry at twenty. they were flabbergasted when I told them I was already married when I was thirty to the man they had to know I wou ld marry. they met him, and knew he and I were dating. so I was supposed to be the old maid to stay mom and care for mom and dad. well it just did not happen. My marriage was a great one, lasted 43 years. We had two children, a boy and a girl. our little girl we lost at age 8. my son would have loved my old childhood books as they were all the same ones he picked out to read as a kid.

Honestly, I never had many toys growing up. I had a lot of hand me down toys, and stuff that my dad found (because of his work) - so there weren't too many toys that I had that I wanted to save. I did save, though not necessarily for my kids, a doll that my mom sewed for me. She was a yellow polyester doll with button eyes and yarn hair - she was my companion for a long time. I just didn't have the heart to ever get rid of her because my mother had made it for me! My sister and I did have quite a collection of childrens books though. She didn't care to keep any, so I took them for myself and kept them all (unless they were severely tattered). And many of these books are now read by my almost 5 year old . . . it's a joy to see her love the books that I once (or still) did!
