Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
I used to love playing with little cartoon figures / figurines and using my imagination to create a world for them. I played with and collected many of these over the years (mostly Disney characters) and it was a great way to play on your own and become lost in a fantasy world. I would make homes for them in my coat and pretend they were living in a den. It sounds funny now but I could have done this for hours. My sister would sometimes play too but her imagination just didn’t quite fit mine most of the time!
Recently my niece and nephew have really enjoyed playing with these type of figures also and so I gave my collection from my youth for them to enjoy over the next few years. My nephew was especially delighted and I hope it brings him the same joy they brought me.

Fun! I did the same with my superhero action figures. I’m jealous you have young family members to pass your collections onto. What lucky kids!

I used to play with matchbox cars. I would “drive” them all over the house. I amassed quite a collection of them. I have no idea if my mom kept them or not, but when I think of playing with toys as a child, I think of them!

I love your big imagination and that you could play for hours on your own. Having that sense of self, that sense of wonder (kids are amazing at being creative) and being your own friend as you played sounds like a great balance xx
