Maybe I'm just being nostalgic but many of J's toys are built for the destiny of those vintage toys. My toys were so much sturdier. I wish my mother had saved more items . . . my treehouse for one. I have wonderful memories of playing with that. Secondly would be my shopping cart which I would love to have for J. The third item is Ollie though he was sort of saved and died years later from the elements in his storage area. My Ollie had wheels unlike the earlier version. Last but not least is my Kermit the frog. I have been given replacements but none of them are quite the same and the hands do not velcro like my old kermit.
I guess I should consider this as I determine the fate of J's toys. However, like I said before his toys are to some extent not build well. Maybe I need to pull aside the few that are and save them? Or perhaps my parents thought the same thing of my toys compared to theirs and I must stop the cycle! There is a fine line between saving and hoarding and I only have so much space. I can't keep everything nor do I want to be tied to that stuff.
What preschool toy do you have fond memories of, and are you lucky enough to still have it?

I do think our toys were built better but mine still broke and were destined to the trash heap. They still make those vintage toys, we need to go to Larson's in UA.
