I still do I have dolls and I love to dress them up and comb their hair it's a lot of fun. I guess I still feel like a little kid inside, but I guess everyone still has that too. When I was a small kid I would love to be with dollies all the time and up to this day I collect them. That's something that I have not outgrown yet. Mostly when people grow up they decide to get rid of all their toys from when they were small, but I still have my toys. My toys are a reminder of my childhood and I like to be reminded of my childhood. My toys symbolize the happiness that I had when I was small and playing with them. Toys now a days get more and more better. New toys are always good too, but I don't buy those because I rather play with my old toys they have so much meaning to me. So what I wanted to ask is if you still have your toys when you were a child??? Or do you still play with toys???

I don't have much of anything left from my childhood. A few stuffed animals I was able to save, a couple of collectors dolls, but nothing of any real value that held any real meaning for me. All of that got lost when I moved out of my parents' house. It still feels almost like home, but at the same time I've got my own place now to call home. Though I still miss some of my old stuff.

I didn't have so much toy when I was kids. My family kind poor, my dad want us save money to buy book pencil or something relate to work.But when I was kid I play with earth all the time, and play with other. We didn't have tea party, so we paly pork or climb tree and mountain.
I kid start to buy toy when I was in college, I like play with them, and I love to hold them when I was falling a sleep.

I don't really play with toys but I do collect Gundam Model Kits. I have about 30 of them in different scales. I still have them in boxes. It's really addicting mostly if your collecting the whole series. My son have the newer transformers toys. I'm still fond of those toys. Whenever my son would play with them, I get to join him. It's a good thing though since it increases the bond we have as well as my liking of playing with the toy.

I love to play jacks. You can't hardly find any nowadays unless they're plastic. I love to have one of those stress balls around to squish in my hand during the day while I'm thinking. I buy them from the toy departments. I also have a multicolored slinky on my desk. Those used to be metal also. I also still love the paddle balls.

never, i don't think i play with toys when i was 12 years old. for my family wasn't very rich although my daddy bought many toys to my brother and me ,he thought 10 years old are old enough not to play with toys. so after that i never played with toys anymore and until now i don't for i think i'm used to that.

Hi anime!
When I was a child I love to play dolls but I've outgrown it at the age of 13. My interest was shifted to collecting stationaries and pocketbooks. I've outgrown collecting stationaries at the age of 16. However, my love for collecting novels and pocketbooks remained until now. All the toys that I have when I was still a kid were already given and donated to orphans.

I don't really play with them, but still collect plushies and cute toys. I don't play much toys when I was younger since we're too preoccupied with studying, and that might be the reason why we still love to play even though we're now 20 plus. During my graduation, I was so happy to receive teddy bears rather than receiving roses! and I sleep cuddling them all ^^

I really had the same experience with you! When i was a little girl, i had a barbie ,blonde ,big eyes, slim, tall......i spent a lot of time dressing her, combing the beautiful hair,even doing some make up,haha. Well,it seems quite remote to me now, just a good memory. I don't know exactly since when i stopped playing with the doll, maybe 11 or 12 ,i guess.
We have to grow up to meet the real society.Dolls are just dolls.They are not real.
Of course, u don't need to throw them away.

I dont play with toys anymore but we are all child at heart because I will play the occasional video computer game .I particularly like computer games like solitaire and need for speed and spend hour playing them as I would when I was a child.I dont think though that anyone should feel bad for being a child at heart or try to kill that part of them ,it helps to keep them innocent

I still play board games. In fact, I have a collection of over 200 vintage board games. We have a game night at my house about twice a month. Board games in my mind are much better than computer games because you get to have interpersonal relationships with real people.

I don't really have that many toys left from my childhood either. I don't play with toys that much as an adult. I remember when I was an older kid play with my little cousin and her dolls. But now she's older and doesn't play with them anymore. I just go play online games now.

Personally I don't but I have friends that do, and I dont mind that, ppl need to get back to their earliest childhood memories in order to feel safe once in a while. However, I have to admit that I play monopoly and I love it, I also like chess but i dont think of these games as toys.
