I'm in my 40's. When I was buying a present for my 1 year old great-nephew, I found a section at Toys R Us that had a selection of "retro" toys. They had a wooden bear that was a pull toy that played the xylophone while being pulled, a wooden slinky pull dog, a "TV" that scrolled pictures when you would it up and a musical telephone. There were several of us in the aisle just getting lost in our memories of these toys. I bought the pull bear, although I figure that it wouldn't compare to the other toys he got, but I didn't care. (I wondered if toddlers would even recognize the phone shape - there aren't many phones that shape these days.) But it was so much fun!!! |
