My favourite Childhood Toy

I didn't like dolls, and generally I prefered toys that DID something, like Lego, but I never had any

I would have LOVED a train set, or Scalextric (sp?).

I did have a couple of teddy bears that I loved, one in particular.  My mum knitted it for me, and at first I didn't like it because it didn't look like a proper teddy bear, but after a while I grew to love it.

Because it (OK, he!) was stuffed with kapok, he went all soft and floppy after a while (no sniggering at the back there!!), but I still loved him

I would've shared my lego with you Wilke - that was one toy we did have as my mother thought it was educational.

I did have educational toys like scrabble. But not toys that you could really play with.

Thank you Mouse

I did get to play with my friend Fiona's lego sometimes, but only when she felt like it - which was not often.

I don't know what my mother's objection to lego was - maybe she thought it was expensive.

My favourites were Etch a Sketch (and books, lots of books!) I was a nerd!

I did have a Spirograph, which I liked a lot.  You could make cool pictures - I might see if you can still get them
