Almost all of us have some memories of our childhood. Some memories are very vivid. Some other memories have left only blurry footsteps on our mind. Some people easily review every stage of their childhood, but some others have a hard time turning the pages of their lives’ books to recall their memories.
A child’s world could simply limit to his/her toys and games. As small kids, the most valuable belongings of ours were toys. We could not even think of losing them even if they were crushed or torn. It sounded like we were born only to be cheery, to laugh, and to enjoy every minute of our lives. Although our feet were on an earthly ground, but we had the feeling as if we were living in fairies’ land—with no useless worries, sadness, or struggle. Anyway, I am wondering if there is someone who cannot remember their most favorite valuable childhood toys.
My lovely toy, as a toddler, was a doll made from velvet cloth in dark red color. So, I could easily bath her besides playing with her. At those old days, we did not have this chance to choose among a variety of toys in different shapes and models. So, I guess the majority of girls had similar dolls. Sometimes, a simple toy could be a good reason to gather neighboring kids all together and play in groups. It is a pity that I was not a good owner for my doll, and do not remember what happened to my lovely doll at the end. After that, I have not seen that lovely doll at any kid’s hands. I wish I still had it.
Now, among available toys and playthings, If I want to choose, I would say that musical toys are my choices—particularly those music boxes in which there is a doll that dances and signs a relaxing song when you open its door, or those toys that hang from the kids’ carriage or bed, round around a circle, and sing an appealing song.
I suspect that the kids, nowadays, do not love their toys as we used to do. I guess they are distracted with different hobbies which are mostly electronic games. And on top of that, they are getting lonelier and less cheerful.
Thanks so much for reading.
Now, let’s discuss:
Do you remember your childhood toys? Can you describe one of your most favorite playthings or share a photo of them with us? Is there anyone who has kept their childhood toys?

Dear Syam Sasidhar,
I'm Glad about it. You are most welcome.
This is very good Hurieh. after reading this i also took some time to go back to my child hood and got smile on my face, after remembering those days.
Many thanks
Dear Seeker, hi
I cherish your advice and will keep in mind. My father was like this and I always appreciate him for his great personality. Thanks so much.
Dear noona^, I also have some scars on my body that date back to my childhood. I guess I was too curious when I was a small kid. I will wait impatiently to see the photo of your teddybear dear.
Dear noona^,
A girl playing football? Sounds interesting! I used to play girlish games at my childhood with my cousins.
I was told by a university professor that kids like playing with soil and sprinkling it so much. She said that she bought a sandbox for her son and let him play with soil this way. She said that her son really liked drawing and doodling on walls. So, she covered the walls with pieces of paper and let her son do that.
What a sweet mom she is, isn't she? These days, parents, and moms mostly, are too protective. They don't let their kids play whatever they like.
A teddybear? Why don't you let us see the photo of your lovely bear?
Dear SNR,
How luxury childhood you have had! One could start a family having your furniture and accessories. haha
You did resuscitate some memories of mine. I have to thank you for that.
Now, let me share it with you. My grandparents had a pilgrimage to Mecca several years ago. They got back with several full luggaes. They bought many souvenirs for their children (cloth their daughters and daughters-in-law, and shaving machine for their sons and sons-in-law) and grandchildren (toy cameras).
I still remember those toy cameras. They were too simple-- It had a small aperture on its back and a key on top. You could change some default photos in it by hitting that key.
By the way, for some reason, I was my grandfather's apple of eyes. So, he hid some other souvenirs for me and gave to me sneakily. A nice wristband in gold color, and a necklace with red dark beans. They were really nice.
I have a question. Do you think you are a good chef? I guess you will make a good wife and mom.
Dear precious,
WOW. Childhood cartoons! I still love them and watch them sometimes. My most favorite cartoon was " Daddy long leg". have you watched that?
Dear Expector Smith,
In this sense, I should say that either I'm too kid or you are too adult. hahaha (I'm kidding)
I also don't play with toys anymore. I even don't like playing video games. Thanks for leaving your comment.
Dear Seeker,
I guess you were the type of kids who are too fussy and naggy. Those who cry and kick to get whatever they want, right? (I was kidding)
You know, playing is a perfect way to teach and train small kids. Children learn faster and a lot better when they are playing.
I'm not still sure but I guess I wouldn't be too lenient to my kids. I don't like to spoil them. Though, I hope they won't say that I'm too strict. How do you think? Am I prone to be a strict mom?
Dear Peach Pit,
You also had a barbie doll like Eman! Nice. A spot in sandbox? What do you mean by "sandbox".
It must have been so much fun though. I still dream of a yard with a shack which is made on top of a tree.
