    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I was lucky to live where there was quite a bit of outdoor space, so I'd have to say our tree forts and canyons. While not toys per se, they were very fun! :)

    Well this got me thinking. So I'd have to say, I loved my baby dolls. Had a couple of Cabbage Patch dolls that I absolutely adored. Played a little with Barbie, but my mum didn't really like her so I didn't have many. I had lots and lots of stuffed animals that I would play with ALL the time - just like in Toy Story I would make up little games and stuff and pretend they were real. And we lived in the country for a while, so it was my brother's matchbox cars, and mounds of dirt and we would build little cities and use our imagination to play.

    I also had an etch-a-sketch that I LOVED! And then came Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Totally awesome. :D

    I was 4 and for xmas was given a toy mummy bear driving a battery opperated 3 wheeled cart with her two babies in the back moving and saying " Channa Channa, Channa Channa". It moved and it was cute and they were ALIVE, and they were special to me.
    I called it my Channa Channa.
    One day when i was 6, I found it broken and unloved in the bottom of my younger cousin's toy box.
    I bawled my eyes out.
    How could my mum think it was ok to give it AWAY!

    :( I'll never forget that day.

    slot cars! with glow in the dark loops!
    My bro and I loved when they went flying across the room after hitting a corner at high speed
