My favourite toy when I was small was a one-foot tall black doll with a porcelain head, forearms and legs with a cloth body. I loved that doll with all my heart. One day I dropped it on the basement floor and it shattered. I was heartbroken.

When I was about 5 years old, I would watch the Zellers commercials on television. And at the time, they featured the Zellers mascot, Zeddy bear. I wanted one of those bears so very much. My parents bought me one, and it was my absolute favourite toy. I loved that thing dearly. In fact, even after I grew out of my teddy bear phase, I kept that bear and it wasn't until a few years ago that I threw him away (because he was falling apart lol)

Very good and interesting question!!!!!!! I've played with plenty of toys e.g. dolls, cars, piano, teddy bear etc. but the most favourite toy till today is "Dinner Sets". I had plenty of dinner sets of toys at mine childhood and kept on buying new dinner sets too. Let me tell u an interesting stroy related to dols of mine childhood. Once, my Dad bought a doll for me. I played with it few days and then broke her body parts. I seperated her arms legs and neck from her other body parts. Then i seperated her each and ever hair from her head. Lol. After that doll, my Dad did n't bring any doll for me. Lol. I myself or my elder brother bought dolls for me.
