To want to know the childhood toy/game you'd still love to have now?

[WeShallHaveFogByTeatime]

Mine would be the flat bed of the Fisher price campervan. He was my best friend growing up, I pulled that truck everywhere (he also had a name)
I can't justify buying one from eBay, but if I see one at a charity shop it's coming home with me and I'm in my fifties.
If I could gift you one of your childhood toys now what would it be?

I loved that ball on a plastic string thing that you attached to one ankle and swung round and jumped over with the other foot. Would do it now for the exercise!

My little pony Lulaby Nursery and Princess Pearl with Firey the dragon.

Also miss my Britains riding school. It got disposed of during a house move because the guinea pigs that I never asked for kept weeing on it.

I had Spirograph. That yellow plastic thing where you had to use both the felt tip pens in the box caused me to have about 74833 meltdowns as a child to the point Spirograph disappeared from the cupboard one night never to be seen again. My poor mum 😂

@Farmersweeklyreader most Britain's stuff does come up on eBay from time to time. I have a little 1989 catalogue so I see the reference numbers.

My farm was a beautiful home made one (dgf was a real craftsman) but all my animals and machinery was Britains (including some metal horses and Carts and animals from my DMs toyfarm). I had the milking parlour and it was great attaching the pipes to the udders and closing the gates etc. it came with a little dairy man with a sprayer model.

I never had the combine (cost) 😥

I've never seen that before but I've just looked at one on eBay. Looks amazing!

I know, but it was years before I figured that out.

@TheShellBeach , the Magic Robot was the forerunner of Google. He did know ... well, you had to ask the right questions. Then he knew the answers

I had the FP Treehouse as a child too, and found a pretty good model on Amazon last year and got it for Christmas (not read the full thread, so apologies if someone has already mentioned it). I'll try to put a picture on...

My Cricket doll, she had different cassettes you could put in her back and she would talk, tell jokes and read stories I loved her for years, she would sleep with me and go everywhere with me.

Lights alive

I also loved my Sindy dolls, her dune buggy and room sets - I had the bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom set was brown, and the shower was battery-operated and really loud to have on, but I loved it. Also remember the orange towel.

I had a Mr Frosty too 😏

Rotary Draw

Oh I'm sooo jealous I'd do anything to play for five minutes with a treehouse and put rover the dog in his little kennel and then put him on the swing (thought about it a lot ) 😁.

Tracy teatime 70s and a little dog that had a hand set attached he would walk and bark and when he barked a butterfly on his tale would flap its wings. About 1971.

Screwball scramble. I LOVED that game

I know there are coffee shops out there that have old games but a really good business would be short rural away breaks with all these games and toys to play with for us all.
I've never been a very good artist but I can imagine sitting by a river, capturing what I see via the means of fuzzy felts.

My sister had that. I loved spike!

Keepers, pound puppies or the big yellow teapot.

I still have my cabbage patch kids. And was astounded my parents gave me back my big yellow tea pot. I couldn't believe they'd kept it. My mum was terrible for throwing stuff out. Though I think it's tied into one of my dad's favourite memories of my childhood.

My 1960s dolls house I adored it complete with orange and brown kitchen and primrose bathroom suite
it would be a collectors item now so retro

A robot cat called Pester, looked a bit like a roomba but with fur wish I knew what happened to it ☹️

@booksandbrooks do you mean a Funfax. I had one of them it was brilliant.

My Glo Worm. So cute.

The (very slightly wonky) Wendy house my dad built for us out of plywood, complete with curtains at the window, and letterbox in the door.
