Not really a toy, but as a wee young lass, I used to go out early in the morning to hunt frogs. I would watch and follow one around for hours. When it was time to go in, I would put it in an old birdcage and leave it by the back door, for safekeeping. It was always gone when I returned to it. [:(] (to this day I swear my twin brother always let them loose!) I guess I always believed that if you kiss enough frogs, you will find your prince.

my cat, a very old children bible from granny (I am not very religious but I do remember that this very old book done in a style for kids fascinated me as a kid and I do freaking hope that I still find it when I ship my remains over from my parents house during this year...and therefore hope that I did not bin it at one of my decluttering days as a teenager [8\|] granny used to read me from it at times when I stayed at her house) as well as mother nature [:)] when I was 5 we moved into our own house and extended that one and gosh did I love it as a kid to play in that mud...(still get told at times, such as this year in january on mums 60s birthday, how I messed up myself from top to toe from one tiny mud pud on the drain-thingy at the street....that despite it being a very sunny day, I discovered that tine muddy area and used it to the fullest possible extend [:)]). I also played a lot with friends in our forests....it was a true joy to play between and underneath big tree roots....and I would not want to miss that time...last but not least I used to read a lot of a popular children serie book at home (read most of the 24 or 32 books that serie contained) and also enjoyed a lot 2 common children series on tape... like others I wasn't in barbie either, though I played sometimes with them at my friend next door...my parents never really raised me as a girl so I ended naturally up as a tomboy.

I guess I always believed that if you kiss enough frogs, you will find your prince. awwww how cool. ^_^ we used to do that, too. either the toads or the tree or leopard frogs. you'd hear the bullfrogs at night, but never see them during the day; they were smart and hid in the pond. ^_- we had one leopard frog named prince yaggi who went trick-or-treating with us. =p when we moved to tulsa, we took a box of 40 tiny baby toadlets with us; most of them survived and we let them go in our back yard.

quote: ORIGINAL: Missokyst No,... not the sexual/sensual play kind of toy. What was your favorite toy when you were growing up? I hated dolls, but loved Barbie. However she was not my favorite toy. My godmother always used to bring me things that no one else considered. One year it was colorforms, the next an art kit. But my favorite toy really was not a toy, it was a bank. It was one of those tin banks that had action if you inserted a coin. This one was about 12x12x8. It was a cute scene of the three bears. When the coin was inserted, the baby bear would clap and watch as the papa bear did some fishing in the painted hollowed out pond. The end of his fishing rod had a small magnet which picked up the small fish in the pond. Then his body would swing over to where momma bear stood, with frying pan in hand. The magnet in the pan must have been stronger since the fish often ended up in the pan. Her body would swivel over to the fire to cook the fish. I would bet if I still had that toy it would be worth a bundle. I have looked for it over the years on Ebay but havent seen anything as elaborate as that bank. I wish I could find another. It was my favorite most memorable toy from childhood. What was yours? Lego, I had nothing else, lego provided me with what I needed to make everything else. I flew a few times from Billund airport in Danmark and right at the end of the runway was Lego bricks but on a very large scale, so from the air they looked like the Lego bricks I remember from my youth. The Lego factory I understood was near to the airport.
