Does anyone else love seeing these? I was at playgroup the other day (with my lo of course) and spotted this dog, I just had to pick it up and have a play :haha:

There's loads of other toys I'd love to see again :blush:

Polly pockets

My daughters friend has some her mum kept from being small and I wish I had kept mine.
 
I really love seeing Sylvanian Families. I was never allowed them so I might just build myself a collection now :blush:

Also really excited to build up a collection of doll's house furniture again too!
 
I remember those too :)

Do you remember Dear Diary, Dream Phone, the little dolls that were cupcakes when you turned the skirts inside out?
 
I wasn't allowed sylvanian families either...too expensive. My OH's little sister has LOADS!!!! I love seeing things from my childhood. My grandma brought over one of my old dolls to give to Lily when she's older and I ended up sitting and holding it for ages haha. I remember seeing stuff I used to play with when I took my son for his "taster day" at preschool (where I was allowed to stay with him). Like stickle bricks!!!

I also love seeing books from my childhood. Especially when I had previously forgotten about them. When my son's Grandad bought him "Dear Zoo" it took about 5 times of me reading it before remembering my Grandma used to read it to me. And I also finally found a copy of my favourite childhood book (Bye Bye Baby) that I just HAD to buy. For the kids of course.:blush:
 
Awww I get it with books and have gone out of my way to search for books etc from my childhood for LO.
 
Funny you should mention Stickle Bricks, I've just made a thread about those in toddler club haha.

I did a placement in a nursery when I was a teenager and it felt weird seeing the pegs for coats. My Mum doesn't believe me but I swear I can remember loads from when I was about 2/3 years old x
 
I get it with books too and have also spent a whole evening on google trying to find a computer thing I used to have that had an owl on the side and you had to slot cards in to answer questions on colours and numbers I think. I can't remember much else about it though :(
 
I had a dear diary! Still have it somewhere.

I also had loads of syvanian families. Wish I kept them now.
 
Yes!Cupcake dolls,I used to have loads of those,they smelled so nice!cupcake.jpg

Rachmumtobe,I have memories from a house we lived in when I told my mum about it she said it was before my brother was born so I was younger than 2!
 
I pretty much still have all my old toys in the loft at my Mums, and all my brothers are there too :blush: I have I think 120 polly pockets up there! My parents can't bare to throw them away lol. Me and my OH went just before xmas to empty the loft and had the intentions to be really ruthless for them... We ended up spending most the afternoon playing with the toys and then just stacked them back up there neatly :rofl:
 
I keep bugging my mum to raid her loft, I had LOADS of sylvanian families!

Anyone remember puppy in my pocket? x
 
Keypers! Sylvanian families. I have a huge(well it was huge when i was 5) My Little Pony castle!
 
Kerrie24 yes that's the dolls :)

It's crazy to think that our little ones might remember things from now in say 20 years time

I never had a cabbage patch doll, instead I had a doll with hearts on her cheek that played magic when you kissed them.
 
OK im going to show you some stuff from my time that I had, not expecting many of you to remember these :)
The sindy doll stuff I really want to get back hold of, I had so much vintage stuff for her but it got sold on a bootsale for pennies when I was about 13 and the house got given away and wrecked and drawn on within days.

I looked them up recently on ebay trying to collect them back back they are collectables worth a fourtune now.
