I remember a spinning top that had a tulip inside- as you spun it faster,the tulip opened to reveal a ballerina.

The first "toy" that impressed me was my own phongraph...it had no tubes, no amplifiers, but it had needles that you had to change..it did plug into the wall, (no crank), but played records. My mom would buy me records and started me off with classical music (thanfully) . I was 6 at the time. I loved my cars, trucks, etc., but my phongraph was my treasure. I had Robert Lewis Stevenson's Treasure Island! I had Tuby the Tuba! I had Gene Autry's Rudolph the Red nose raindeer...what else could a kid want?

I don't know how old I was, but my favorite toy was a big
mama doll, as I called her. Nancy was her name. And she
slept with me every night. She was my comfort, since I didn't
have a special blanket, nor did I suck my thumb. Recently I
saw a picture of her in a magazine I subscribe to, called,
Remenisce. And it has donated pictures sent in by the public
and they select them and put captions and stories by the
same contributors with them. It felt good to see someone else
had a mama doll just like mine. I had very few toys as a child.
My parents just weren't into buying me toys. I got clothes
mostly. My grandma on my dads' side was the toy buyer at
Christmas. And I still had little. Mostly doll furniture and a
writing desk and chair and a tea set and table and chairs. My
grandma bought all of those things for me. What I didn't have,
I went to my friends house down the street. She had the
chaulk board for us to play school with, and some clothes for
playing dress up, and she had a gas station with a crank up
lube area. We'd play with that a bit too. And we played board
games, and listened to childrens records. But mainly I remember we played out side and used our imaginations,
or jumped rope, or played hop scotch.
When my sisters' came along 9 years later, that's when the
Barbie doll came about shortly after. And another toy age
was born.

That's a tough one! I have a stuffed animal that my mom said was my favorite (beside my chicken that I loved to dress up and play house with). I still have it in my hope chest!. Not the chicken, but the little black and white doggie! That darn chicken is really the first "toy" that I remember. I remember many toys. The old refrigerator box that me and my sister would turn into a play house, various dolls, plastic guns, and mud. Many times dad or mom would water the garden irrigation style and me and my sister would put on our pretty matching swim suits and go in the garden and play in the mud. We would cover each other in the cool mud and laugh at each other!

I remember having a baby doll, and also a life size doll. A few years later the first Barbie came out.

I can't remember exactly what it was, but one of them was a small helicopter with two propellers made of plastic and it had the crew painted on its surface.
I don't know much about airplanes and helicopters but I have just discovered on internet that it was a tandem helicopter. Of course it couldn't fly but it didn't matter because it could in my imagination.

Umm, I think it was wanting my sister's Betsy Wetsy doll. I remember a phonograph with a record I liked to play entitled "I am A Little Teapot."
