As a child, I did not have many toys. Growing up in the 80′s, although there were many toys back then, I don’t even remember having toys.Instead we would turn chairs with casters into racing cars, make match box houses or simply play games that do not require any toys. The irony is, as an adult, I see more toys every day than I did as a kid hence all the pictures I took about toys. I just notice this when I was going through the folders of the pictures I took the past few weeks.
Here are a few:
Don’t know why I took these pictures, but I just did. Perhaps just a combination of my love of taking pictures and the love for cute things.
So we English speakers couldn’t get Bandai to translate the Tamagotchi color to English. But as a compensation we got the Tama-Go.
Well, it is like an English version of Tamagotchi color. With a little difference of course. Instead of the color display, it comes it a four-gray scale display. It uses 2 AAA batteries, so you can imagine how big it is compared to the previous versions of tamagotchis.
Well, and the other difference is you gonna get the Tamagotchi figurines which you can buy separately as well. So how much does it cost? Cheaper than the Tamagotchi color for sure – $20. $7 for the figurines when you buy them separately.
Now that Christmas is just around the corner, I’m sure it would make a popular gift for little kid and even teenagers. Just chuck one of these next to the best acne face wash as stock fillers. A must have for adults who are collecting them too.
We always thought of having a pet. A cat or a small dog. But since we live in an apartment, that is out of the question. That’s why we got ourselves a little hamster. Only thing is, hamsters wouldn’t love us the way a dog would. Fortunately for people who are either living in a place where they aren’t allowed to have big pets, or allergic or simply do not have the time to take care of pets full time there are robotic pets in the market. Two popular brands for robotic pets are Furreal and Wowee alive.
Good points about these pets is that you can just chuck them just anywhere, their fur don’t shed, and they leave nasty surprises where and when you least expected and they don’t eat. But you enjoy their company anyway.
Price starts roughly at $20 depending on where you can get them. Depend on the internet, if you can find a good bargain for natural acne treatment products, you will definitely be able to find these cool toys at great prices.
When I was a kid I had a low racing pedal car that I share with my little brother. It was a fun toy. We used it a lot for our pretend games. It was sometime in the early 90′s that we first saw battery operated toy cars and motorbikes.
They look plasticky and toy like those days, but I must say that many of the battery operated cars that we can buy now a days do look more like the real thing. Not to mention more extensive choices available now – Jeeps, Peg perego Polaris, John Deere Gator, Honda Minimoto, Winther Tricycles, Peg Perego Vespa and more.

Kid’s love to imitate the adults. What ever we have the would like to have too. Cellphones, laptops, cameras, mp3 players etc. In the olden times, we would have to wait quite a few years until we’ve grown up to be able to have all the things that mommy and daddy has. But nowadays, kids wouldn’t have to wait too long since there’s always the kids version of the gadgets and equipments.
Just like these exercise equipments for kids.
Looks like a real exercise equipment that we use in the gym, with the same functions. Only that they are smaller, safer for kids and of course much more colourful.
I’m not sure whether a child would really need any exercise equipments to keep in shape since they are already by nature active and move around a lot. Jumping, running, rolling around indoors and outdoors. But I suppose it would be a good alternative when the weather isn’t so permissable outside.
Well, in the times when we see more and more kids becoming obese, I just wonder whether we’d see strawberry or orange flavoured generic Phentermine or appetite suppressant for kids in the future.
