She has some great stuff too. She pulled out a whole bunch of toys at our baby shower b/c several friends brought their little kids. The winner was a set of plastic groceries -- fruits, cheeses, veggies, and drinks. Our friends' little girl "served" us all food and drinks from the set :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-toys#post-88058 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:59:46 +0000 cupcakemama 88058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mum didn't save ours. She did keep some of our favourite books though and I am really glad she did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-toys#post-88057 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:55:56 +0000 ecogirl 88057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents will buy a whole tub of matchbox cars at thrift stores or garage sales and wash them and keep them there for Liam. He loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-toys#post-88056 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:53:50 +0000 Rubies 88056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have anything from my childhood! It makes a tad sad. I think I will keep a few key toys of LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-toys#post-88048 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:41:37 +0000 heffalump 88048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I'm sure ill keep some of her favorite things. I'm way too sentimental to just give it all away. But we have a tiny house so that will help me get rid of most of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-toys#post-88046 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:38:22 +0000 chopsuey 88046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I can't imagine keeping LO's toys for 20-30 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-toys#post-88043 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:36:43 +0000 heffalump 88043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom has a basket of old blocks. She also has this sesame street toy that's all rusted. My husband complained about it and she went out and bought a new one.</p> <p>My mil also has a box of old toys, hubby took some home and they're in lo's closet. She also has tons of fun things for lo's because she was a preschool teacher and director. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-toys#post-88038 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:31:37 +0000 chopsuey 88038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did your parents keep your old toys? </p> <p>MIL kept all of her kids' stuff (I was so shocked). While we were there visiting, LO had 3 containers of toys to play with.<br /> MIL mailed us some of DH's old toys--plastic stacking cups, fake food (fried egg, bacon, chips), toy pots and pans. </p> <p>I was surprised that they still make some of the same stuff today that they made 25+ years ago. </p>
