Do you still have anything you played with as a child?

I still have a white teddy bear with a bow tie. It also has beads in its hands and feet that I used to squeeze. My cousin had a similar-looking one that was red; we called mine "wh***y" and his "Reddy" when we played with them together.

My Shadow the Hedgehog plush and the Skelanimals plush that my ex gave me back in high school. I don't really have anything that I still have from when I was younger. I have some Sonic the Hedgehog figurines and a Legends of Chima LEGO set along with a bin of Skylanders but those were not really...old.

I still have a lot of things from my childhood. I moved interstate and when I travel back (exhausting) I bring things back with me.
I have Garfield plushes, Tickle Me Elmo, a few small stuffed animals that I used to build little houses, towns, societies etc. for. I used to imagine these various animals had specific personalities. I still kind of do. :oops:

My old steel string..
It's cheap and it sounds bad, but I feel comfortable playing it still.

I have the cabbage patch kid that I got for Christmas when I was 10. It's at my parents house and my niece plays with him.

My Commodore 64, it became my "teddybear" in my late childhood/early teens and i modded it alot. Going to make parts of it into a "Golden C64" replica so i can keep it forever without the need to repair it.

I don't play with toys very much as a child. I don't even like a doll, even if could play pretend.
I usually join physical games that usually involves turns and usually minimal of 2-3 players. Same with some board games, but my household don't own any. And if we did, it'll be missing or forgotten.

I did had some handheld games, but all of them are broken, missing, or given away. Same with PlayStations.

Jackstone bouncing balls and marbles are gone too, missing. I don't ever own a ball huge enough to play catch with. :lol: Balls back then were considered a luxury and owning one is sort of a privilege.
Not even a deck of cards. Not even a set of blocks.


The only thing left I ever played with as a child is the act of crafting. No materials left or what so ever. Just the life long special interest, and it's means to 'make' toys and games of my own.
Granted, my own fingers drawn with faces and clothes are more like the 'dolls' I truly liked, and did I talked with 'each other' and play with than actual dolls as mediums. :lol:

There are toys from my childhood that I'd love to see again (but we got rid of years ago), but I don't think I'd play with them like I used to. As an adult that part of my imagination is gone. :(

Same here. I lost the imagination to play with toys in high-skewl. Instead I watched TV, played vid games & listened to music. We got a computer & net after I graduated & I became addicted to that & still really like it.

I have a fairly sizable teddy bear my parents got me when I was no older than 5 months. It was my first ever "toy", I've been told. Honestly I haven't had the heart to sell it or even give it away - it holds a lot of sentimental value for me to this day.
