Do you still have toys from your childhood?

Or about toys from your children when they were young?

Do you keep them for the grandkids, or maybe just for nostalgia?

Let's chat, and if you have pictures of those toys, share them!

I was born the same year WWII started and manufacturing was all for the war effort, so my grandfather had to construct a wooden sled for me to fly down the nearby steep hill. I found this stock photo at Deposit Photos with a Google search and it looks very similar to my Red Sled. 😊 I kept it for years and used it as winter decor when my daughters were young; propped up outside next to the front door with a pile of fake snowballs in front of it. 🙃

Yes, I still have a Lego train set, I loved my Lego as a kid. I also have an Etch-A-sketch, Monopoly, Hotel Board Game, 2 of my dolls, and Sindy Doll, together with a dress I made for her. 
I also had a Dolls house as a kid which I loved, but when we moved house, (aged 10), they left it in the old house as there was not enough room to take it to the new house 😞 I was not aware of that till we arrived at our new home. 
We have lots of our children's toys, saving them for when we eventually become grandparents!!
