Sunshine is now in her 30's, she might not want me to tell her age, so I won't. But when she was about 3 yrs. old she had one of those Weeble airplane toys from Playskool. (Is that spelled right?) I had totally forgotten about it and how much she played with it and loved it.
The reminder came from a cousin on facebook, who just mentioned "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down." Thanks Donna. This got my memory in high gear, so I looked up Weebles on Google, and got over 12,000 hits. One sight had hundreds of images, so I saved 3 of them to share with family, and Sunshine.
Her play set was made of plastic, but it was
really sturdy, and lasted until she outgrew
it. It was passed down to her brother Jack and I believe it was then donated to Goodwill, and probably entertained more 3 yr. olds for years. It is hard to find such a well made toy now, everything comes from China, is cheaply made and many times isn't even safe for the children to play with. (Lead in the paint, etc.)
Some things really are happy memories!
Smiling as I write,
Grandma in the yellow house
