Art journal week 50: Toys

week50ToysSml

Still doing last years weekly challenge on the ukstampers forum and week 50 is about Toys:

  • What toy do you remember from childhood, what was your favourite toy?   Was there a toy you wanted and never got?
  • Do you still have any of your childhood toys?  Have you any toys that have been handed down to you?  If so what do they mean to you?
  • Use some vintage images on your page.

Gosh where do I start with toys I remember; there have been so many over the years.  I remember a dolls house that my mum made, lots of dolls and girly stuff, roller skates, pogo sticks, sledge, bike, board games, crafty things, colouring books, cot, pram etc.  I also used to play with my brothers’ toys like hot wheels, garage, cars, mecano and many more.  At Christmas time we would always get a Broons or an Oor Wullie annual which we couldn’t wait to read.  I don’t have any of these toys now as sadly none have survived and many were given away for someone else to enjoy.
