so what was your favourite toy/s and why?
I had a Barbie once and it was rather tiny. not enough to fill a whole day out at the fair.
quite disappointing to pick it up I felt it would crack under pressure. I was not amused.

I remember my dad used to buy me puzzles and assembly type toys, but after opening the box and going to sleep, I would wake up to find he solved the thing himself, and then would show off how good he was at it.
oh. how did it make you feel?Originally Posted by JBI

JBI - maybe you are better not going into petroleum engineering, then, certainly avoid nuclear...
My 4 year old niece loved Barbie dolls. Despite my disapproval of Barbie (she's such a floosie!), I bought my niece a Ken Doll for Christmas.
She was thrilled with the package. AS she began to open it she was beaming with anticipation as she said, "This is great! I just know it's a Barbie! I just know it's a Barbie!"
When Ken emerged from the wrapping paper, her expression changed. "Ken!?" she snarled in disgust. Then she hurled the unfortunate Ken across the room and stomped off.
I am sure that was not Ken's first rejection in the hands of temperamental, unappreciative females... Though not every time so violently!

Like my father was a big child - it's the whole "look at the cool toy I played with for you" concept of parenting which upon reflection seems ridiculous. Especially since he made a big deal to us about buying it for us - then used it himself. Still, I cannot be the only one - getting a computer to play games with by age 8 though removed the problem as my father only plays solitaire and Free Cell (and originally Taipei on the old 3.1.1).
My mother had a patient who was a part owner of what was then The Teaching Company software line, so I must have played almost every game they ever made, from Reading and Math all the way through Geography and mechanics.
My grade 8 knowledge in a sense had been acquired in a foundational sense by Grade 4 or 5, if the levels on the box are to be believed.
The actual potential of video games for constructive education and health is still a highly unexplored field. Instead we have World of Warcraft where mothers can ignore there children to pretend to be a cow for 10 hours a day.

In winter, when there was snow all over the place it was Space Lego, and in summer it was Action Man because we'd take them out into the garden and drive the tanks around the lawn.
Old toasters and radios, watches, cameras: anything I could take apart. When I was about 8 they were building a pool for the complex and I would go and fool with the bulldozer that they just left there open and unguarded. Then I found out it did not need a key.....it started up and started moving till it hit a tree, I had jumped off and watched the behemoth then "left the area". I would give anything to have a picture of my face when it started moving. KDM
Lets not forget about shrinky dinks!!!

I had plenty of toys and bed time stories but after the birth of my nieces I handed over most of my property to them! I’m still keeping some of the books though; we read it together whenever they come to stay with us.
