Toys on Hive Contest - Childhood memories

@artywink takes us on a wonderful journey down her childhood memory lane. It includes both happy and sad memories accompanied by beautiful original artwork to illustrate these memorable moments.

"Cathy saw a book I had, “Enid Blyton Fairy Tales”, and she asked that we do a swop. I could take a floppy doll that I liked and she would take the book; and so after these negotiations, I became the proud owner of a floppy doll and she had the book so we were both happy. I played housey-housey and Doctor-Doctor with my new pride and joy; I even named her Susan. Things were just perfect for a week. Then all hell broke loose!"

Un juguete con Tabú / A toy with Taboo - Toys on Hive Contest # 4- Childhood Memories

This post bought a little smile to my face and I had so much fun reading it. It's a simple little toy but I can imagine bring so much fun to everyone. Children shouldn't be defined or restricted by the type of toys they play and this is a perfect example of that.

"This is my boy who pees, in my house we knew him as the piss doll, it turns out that he is a naked child that works like a small water gun, that is, the game consists of wetting other people with the water from the toy, but for me it means many memories, so much so that I still have the toy, I don't know its age exactly but I know that I bought it when I was much less than 10 years old and I am already 31 so it has more than 20 years with me and it still works, it made me smile just see it."

Third Place @suezoe

(ESP-ENG) Concurso de Toys on Hive # 4 - Recuerdos de la infancia: Mi juguete favorito / Toys on Hive Contest # 4 - Childhood Memories: My Favorite Toy

Imagine making your own toy when you were only eight years old. Bear Cub may look a bit rough on the edges, but it doesn't stop the author loving it all these years.

"Excitedly, I began to cut the pieces of my bear; I sewed them with my beginner seamstress stitches, when I was struggling to tie the knots and sometimes the seams would come undone. I did not give up and finished assembling my stuffed animal, I stuffed it with the same fabric from the shirt cut into pieces. My mom gave me some buttons to make her eyes and I did my best to embroider her face. I even made her tail. Once finished, it seemed to me that I had done a perfect job."
