Favorite Childhood Toy

I've been on eBay for almost a week bidding on these Vintage Fisher Price Little People houses for my kids for Christmas. It took me a few days but I finally got one and I'm really excited about it. I asked my son a couple of weeks ago what he wanted for Christmas and he showed me some race cars they had at school and said he wanted some of them. That type of car is from the Little People line of toys and eBay was the only place I found them. I can remember playing with them as a child and I loved them. Those little houses are so neat and came with so many little accessories like a baby nursery set, kitchen set, living room furniture and almost anything else you can think of. Looking through all of the ads really brought back some childhood memories. It got me thinking about all the toys I played with as a child and made me remember my favorite.

My favorite toy as a child was a stuffed bear. He was brown and just the right size to snuggle and carry around with me. By the time my mom finally managed to sneak it away from me and throw it out he had only one eye left, his nose was missing and he smelled faintly of mildew from being left out in the rain. In other words he was very well loved. I miss that stinky little bear and I wish I still had him so I could show my children what my favorite toy as a child was.

So I was wondering what was your favorite toy as a child? Do you still have it?
