Hi Jane

I remember fuzzy felt well- it was one of my favourite toys. I think you can still get it- I recently saw a Thomas the Tank Engine one in M & S. I was going to get it for my nephew but he's too young at the moment. It's funny how today's kids like the old things- my husband bought his nephew an action man many years ago for Christmas and it was the one toy he played with the most. My niece used to love making paper dolls- you know, the ones where you folded the paper and made a chain of them? She used to spend hours colouring them in and 'designing' outfits for them.

I wonder what toys others remember and whether they are still played with today?

Making clothes out of old newspapers and spirograph wiled away many hours when I was young as there was no daytime television, computers or mobile phones. Bliss.
