Imaginations Soar When Playing With Tinker Toys

Fashion
Kids these days seem so sophisticated and adult-like - with their fashion ranges (from Angels Face clothing to I Love Gorgeous) and computer games. Although I had less sophisticated toys and fashion, I have fond memories of my childhood.
When I was very small, I remember going to my grandma’s house to visit. Grandma lived in an upstairs apartment that always seemed cozy and warm. We knew we would be treated to special cookies and love, but one of the best things was the corner closet that held all of the toys just waiting for us to come and play! Oh, the anticipation of getting the greetings out of the way and getting to that closet! One of the favorites of mine was Tinker Toys. The long, narrow tube held every length of slender sticks and colorful round circles just waiting for assembling into whatever our imaginations could create. No simple opening of that box – no, we would dump them out in a hurry and get to building whatever came into our minds. We competed for the tallest towers, the wildest designs or simply used them as creation equipment for other toys we played with. They could become a house for our dolls, or roads for the Matchbox cars. Visits to Grandma’s house could always be looked forward to letting our imaginations soar with Tinker Toys.
