One of the great things about being a parent is that your own parents dig through the garage and ship you lots of your old toys, ostensibly for the grandkids but also to clean out their storage. We were over at a friend’s house recently and saw these gems:
We just love the simplicity of these but were even more thrilled to see what they had in the corner . . .
An old fold-out mini Sesame Street set, complete with stoop for impromptu songs about counting. The details were also terrific, like this “autographed” photo in one of the rooms.
For all of you mid-century enthusiasts, you will enjoy the Fisher Price “Play family A-Frame” House, complete with sliding doors.
I’m sure you can find these on ebay but they are so much more special when they are the actual houses you played with when you were a child. It is so fun to be able to share these with your own kids and I’m sure our friends will do so . . . just remember to invite us over too!
