Toys for Me and My Child

When I was a child I never had that much chance to get all the toys that I wanted. My father did not earn that much and my mother is only a housewife so there were  few chances for us to get enough money in order to buy all the toys that I wanted. I had to content myself with playing with hand me down toys from my cousins and relatives.

I know that there was a lot of stuff that I missed out when I was young because of that. When the kids in my school would talk with each other about all the great toys that their parents are buying of them, I could not join them and I would always feel left out.

Now that I am all grown up i still feel that I have missed out on an important portion of my life. I still feel a  need to get all of those toys that I have missed out on. That is why I started collecting  classic toys. These toys are vintage playthings that  will surely bring in a flood of memories for guys like me who wants to get nostalgia and fulfillment. I do not know whether it’s true or if its just a feeling for me but I believe that toys from the past are more fun to play with than the ones that they are coming out with today.

Toys today are just all razzle and dazzle and they lack the fun quality from the old days, which I think is a pretty important in any plaything. That’s why while I have started collecting classic toys for myself I have also bought some old toys for my son, so that he could experience what it’s like to play with old school stuff.

I have also made sure that my son is exposed to a lot of educational toys even when he was too young to walk. Studies have shown that the development of a child is at its most crucial stage at that time. Parents have to make sure that they have the right exposure  at that age. I am not taking any chances when it comes to the proper raising of my kid. So I actually go for two types of toys. Classic toys for myself and educational toys for my child. One is purely for fun and one is for my child’s development.
