    Smile Just for Fun - What's your favorite Toy

    I have toys that are from my childhood - a teddy bear and a doll that belonged to my sister who died in childhood.
    My favorite newer toy is Nintendo DS.

    What's your favorite?

    My favorite toy was the motorcycle that I got for Chistmas in 1974.

    Any kind of kaleidoscope. They're endlessly fascinating.

    I have the doll crib made from and old chair and patch work doll blanket (made from my baby clothes) that my grandmother made me when I was about 4. (Its OLD NOW!) And my very first teddy bear that hung in my crib when I was born. These are my very favorite toys from childhood.

    I have to admit I have never grown up, I still like teddy bears and collect all the old ones I can find. I picked up a handmade doll chair at the thrift store the other day that I plan on refinishing it and setting next to the doll crib with a thrift store teddy bear in it.

    Like Darlene, cribbage is my favorite......even if I lose its fun! LOL

    I like legos, tinkertoys, lincoln logs and erector sets. See any pattern here?

    I've always loved to build and create with these. Little did I know as a kid that someday I would design and hand build my own house! And now I sit in my house and still build with my tinkertoys.
