On Wednesday I posted about some Christmas presents that I have bought for Burton and it got me thinking about the presents I would have had at his age when I was a toddler. Asides from the more traditional toys that I have got him as mentioned in my Festive Finds post, we have also got him a battery operated/remote controlled car for him to ride in and his grandparents are hoping to get him a VTech Innotab. Sooooo much more technologically advanced than the type of gifts I would have received at the tender age of 2 and a bit years!
So this is me around the same age as Burton is now (maybe a little bit older)
Now I cannot possibly remember exactly what I was given for my third Christmas but I do have found memories of the following toys which I know I did have when I was very young
Fisher Price Chatter Phone
Made popular again now as it was included in Toy Story 3
Weebles
Now although I do not remember receiving my Weebles I know I loved my treehouse and I DO remember the day my mum and dad decided that it was time for it and my beloved Weebles to be taken to the rubbish tip! I was devastated that they were being got rid off - well i must have been because that day is etched in my mind even now!
Fisher Price - Musical TV and Clock
I remember that the TV played row, row, row your boat and I think the clock played a couple but Londons Bridge is falling down was one of them. These were great products I really liked listening to them, and they have recently been re-issued as I saw them last Christmas in a toy shop in my local town.
I also remember I had a walker which had a fluffy toy dog attached to it; a train which you put disks in and it would move and play music and I think one of those 'lawn mower' toys which was like a push and pull musical drum thing on wheels with a long handle (?).
Anyway, these gifts stand out from my toddler hood - which ones do you have fond memories of?

i know what you mean by lawnmower type toy. Can't remember what they were called but can visualise it. When i was 2 and a bit, I can vividly remember having a plastic apron with "The Muppets" on. I loved it and am pretty sure I wore it all day. Whenever I see a photo with me wearing it, it brings back a really powerful memory.
ReplyDeleteI love love loved my weeble's tree and I definately remember the fisher price tv
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a toddler though I did get a dolly (I think I was3) becuase my brother was due the following January! The doll is still around now!

Ooh I thought you were younger than me! :)
ReplyDeleteI had weebles and the phone, and I think I had the Fisher Price record player (or that may have been at playschool!) Great idea for a post - I may just add this to my 'post ideas I'm going to steal pile'
Love this post. I was born that year but I did get weebles a few years later I loved them. I got the boys weebles but they werent the same. I remember the lawn mower type toy with the bits in it xx
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome post and a blast from the past!!!
ReplyDeleteAll the Fisher Price toys stood out in both mine & OH's memories so much so that we bought them all last year for our Youngest Son's 1st Christmas. I have to confess I love playing with them as they bring back wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteI loved my Girls' World and my cotton candy My Little Pony. The Boy has Weebles now and they are so cool!
