Treehouse toy - 1980

This was my favourite toy when I was a child in the 1980s and I just noticed that it is now being sold again. It now has woodland figures but everything else looks the same:

Unfortunately my DC are too old and have turned down my offer of buying it for them!

Mine's in my parent's loft somewhere. The new characters don't make sense though, the little bush outside is the dog's kennel, who's going to sleep in there if they're all animals?

Ooh my little sister had one I thought it was great. I'm going to buy one for dgs so we can play together with it.

Oh I loved that. I remember getting it for Christmas along with a play dough barber set and a Cadbury’s chocolate money machine. I’m not sure my children have loved any of their toys as much as I loved mine!

I wondered who was going to sleep in the dog kennel too!

I bought my Dd one and she didn’t play with it, so I sold it. Maybe I should have put it away. She has a couple of the smaller ones too and loves the animal friends that come with it.

I really wanted one of these. Wanted play-doh barber shop even more.

Thesearmsofmine · 22/01/2021 22:39

I had one of these! It used to have people with it. Sadly my dc wouldn’t play with it or I would be getting one!

Do I buy one for DSS's unborn baby? Will a 21st century toddler have the same enjoyment do you think?

I remember going to a birthday party when I was about 7 and the birthday girl had one in her bedroom. I really didn't want to join in the party, I just wanted to play with this the whole time.

DM is a hoarder... my Big Yellow Teapot and treehouse are still around Grin

Will I get banned from mumsnet for saying we had this in our 1980s reception class at school and I.....hated it!!

cherrypop86 · 23/01/2021 17:46

I would love to have the teapot again and the big red fun bus. My kids are still young enough to play with these so might be tempted.
