Ihave such a fantastic time watching my children play with their toys. Toys havedefinitely advanced by leaps and bounds since I was a child. My mode oftransportation was a big wheel that was passed down from sibling to siblinguntil my feet graced its pedals. Being the second youngest of five children,this was the way of the world and it worked well for our family.NowI can look out in my garage and see a child motorized Ford F150 truck, a LittleTikes police cruiser, a ride on Thomas the train toy, and a vintage lookingRadio Flyer tricycle. Spoiled… I have a tendency to spoil my children, just alittle bit.
IfI am being perfectly honest I will own up to the fact that these toys are justas much for me as they are for my children. I have a great time playing trainswith my two boys. I love pretending we are in a diner and letting them preparemeals in their play kitchen. If I could fit in the motorized truck I woulddrive it around the neighborhood. My children give me the excuse I need to playwith all of the fun new toys being made today and I am perfectly okay withthat.
Ifind that a majority of the toys that my children like to spend their timeplaying with are simple toys that allow their imaginations to run wild. Theycan create anything they want at their work bench and they can build any kindof track going to any destination they so choose when playing with their woodenrailway system. These types of toys provide endless hours of entertainment.
Thenthere are the really cool mechanical toys that grab their attention and simplywon’t let go. A prime example is the Playskool mechanical dinosaur a friendgave us. This dinosaur makes noises, moves, and responds to touch. It is a toythat my boys cannot get enough of. William likes to sit and ride it and Stevenlikes to walk right up to it, pet it, and then run away. It is a toy that I wouldhave loved as a child.
Myboys’ latest thing is to dress up. Although they do not have dress up clothesper say, they like to put on a hat or a cape and take on a new persona. Theyturn into Super Hero William, or Worker man Steve with the addition of a simpleaccessory. Apparently this dress up game has now extended to their toys aswell. Worker man dinosaur has made his debut and is a fun, new, and unexpectedplaymate in our home.
Ohto be a kid again! I loved my childhood and I have a fondness for the poundpuppies and cabbage patch dolls that made it big when I was little. But thetoys these kids have today are amazing and provide the parents with just asmuch entertainment and joy as they do the children they are bought for.Although not everyone may feel this way, as a mother who spends most of the daycrawling around on the carpeting playing trains with my tots, this has been myexperience.
Ifthere was a single modern toy that I could have had as a little girl it wouldhave to be one of those motorized cars that kids have today. I would have loveddriving down my driveway and around the block in one of those two passengertrucks.
Ifyou had to pick only one, which modern toy do you wish you had as a child?
