Answer 2

Hi >
Interestimg Q.
Despite Meccano & Scalextric stuff, (too old for pound puppies),
It could be an old peice of mining conveyor belt. Used as a sledge arrangement down pit-heaps in Geordie-land. At Mach 3.
Arrive home for tea totally covered in black stuff, and consigned to the bath.
Or trying to build a boat from a dicarded bay-window thing.
Which sank.
Much more fun than Hamleys, although I now get gizmos from catalogues, a donkey that poos chocolate raisens. A miniautre steam engine.Or some pot of goo. The remembered toys of the future
So whatever is fun for even, such as me, an older child at heart.

Bob.

Answer 3

My teddy bear - I still have him, at the grand old age of 53! He was my Mum's when she was a child, so he's a pretty good age, bless him.

Once when I was a child I left him too near the gas fire (I was trying to keep him warm, you see!) and one of his arms got singed. I can still remember the awful smell and being so grateful that I had found him in time. My Mum knitted him a new arm out of yellow wool, which she stuffed with old stockings.

I also had an toy elephant that I called "Umpy Dumpy Dido" - heaven knows where the name came from but I do seem to remember that it was me who made it up! He was pale grey and had a very comical expression on his face.

He and my teddy were the most played with and loved toys ever for me - sadly I don't know what became of Umpy, I suspect he just fell apart from too much loving!!!

Answer 4

I used to love lego the best because you can make up lots of new things all the time. I just never got bored with it. I made a repeating rffle and a working cable car system. Next was tains and planes. Recyclable too!

Answer 5

Sniff... sniff ...I never had toys when I was a wain. So I had to make my own out of cotton reels painted them to make them look like a wee doll or used to catch the rag and bone man who used to give me a balloon in exchange for my old cloths. Times twere'ard those days.

Answer 6

My Jack in the Box turn the handle the music (half a pound of tuppuny rice) would play you new he was going to jump out but you could never time it and always jumped when he did.

Answer 7

My two Barbie dolls. I know, isn't imaginative, but when I was little my family was really poor. I wanted a Barbie really bad, but my parents couldn't afford it, so the dolls were given to me by my favorite aunt. I will never forget this present because it reminds me of my poor but happy childhood.

Answer 8

I had loads of He-Man toys but my fave toy was a Roland Rat stuffed toy i used to take him every where!

Answer 9

I used to love playing with building blocks, making things and then bringing it down. I also used to play with transformer toys and bow and arrows(no real arrows of course).

Answer 10

Legos!! Best toy ever made.

.....although GI Joe was a close second for me. I had several GI Joes and totally wore them out.
