Your Favourite Toy As A Kid

Did you have a particular toy, made or bought that you really wish you still had today?
Could you describe it?

One toy I can think of offhand is (was) my Swingy Doll.

I wasn't too too much into dolls but I've seen my Swingy Doll on the internet & Ebay & remember how cute she was.

She came with a little record & danced or walked, depending what setting you had her on.

Depends on the age but my favourite for many years were my rollerskates, went everywhere on 'em!!

Various bikes they changed as I aged. Only stopped cycling when I first got MS my balance went rather wobbly so it got a bit dangerous. So bikes my favourite was my pashley I had that from about the age of 14 (still technically a child) until I was about 40 when I sold it ... for a profit ! Those od pashley go for quite a lot of money

My absolute favourite was a paper doll !
She had lots of outfits - I'm sure she inspired my fashion sense, it was amazing how different she looked in some of the outfits ......

My little 3-wheeler bike. It got stolen though when I left it outside my friend's house.

Re: Your Favourite Toy As A Kid

I was never very interested in toys .... for me it was books, books and more books.... and when I ran out of books I'd read anything I could lay my hands on ... newspapers, cornflake packets etc.

My other passion as a child was the family dog ... she was my best friend, my confidante and my playmate ... we did everything together. I was 11 when she died and so upset to lose her my parents bought me a Labrador puppy.

I can live quite happily without people but can't imagine not having a dog in my life!
