I spent last night watching the 100 greatest toys on Channel 4 and it took me right back to my childhood! I spent a large proportion of my childhood playing Lego, Play-Doh, Sega Megadrive games, fuzzy felt, Polly Pockets, Furby.... the list could go on! My Double Dose of polka dots this Monday is dedicated to a couple of retro toys...
Double Dose 1 - Polka dot Sylvanian Families MotherAs a child I always wanted some Sylvanian Families play sets... Television adverts are very powerful with children and the Sylvanian Families adverts made them look so magical! I expecially wanted the canal boat and the windmill, which, I believe, was a little bakery and had the cutest little tea set... oh how I wanted it! Did Father Christmas ever bring it to me? no... he did not...
Double Dose of Polka Dot 2 - Polka Dot Winter Pony Rainbow DashMe and my sisters loved My Little Pony, we had the videos, lots of the toys, even a My Little Pony bean bag too in our bedroom!
What toys were you absolutely dotty about as a child?
I had so much sylvanian family stuff when I was wittle, including the canal boat and a huge mansion. I wish I still had it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! I wanted it so much as a child! xx
