It was a set of lego-like blocks. Only it wasn't Lego, but some other kind of interlocking thing. They were red and white. I would build airplanes and pretend to fly them down the stairs to the basement.
They didn't fly all that well, of course. But in my imagination, they did. Good times.

My bride doll. I have her still although she's looking more like the bride from Billy Idol's White Wedding video clip these days!

A raggedy Ann doll that wound up and played music.

A stuffed Winnie-the-Pooh, with velcro paws to simulate honey stickiness.

A stuffed blue bunny. And I remember him because I had an awful nightmare about him growing really big and coming to get me when I was about 3. I still have him somewhere.

I got a musical teddy bear for the Christmas before I was born, named Music Bear, or course!
The earliest memory of a toy was my little chalkboard table with magnetic letters that fit in a compartment on top. I was totally anal about it, and the letters had to be arranged perfectly straight and in order before it could be put away. I was about 3 at the time, and yes, I've lost my compusive cleaning habits.

My teddy. He got lost in a house move when I was 16, and big girl as I was then, I was still heartbroken. Big girl as I am now, I'd love to find him again.

On a related note, (and because I like to brag about what a child prodigy I was before I got lazy around the third grade) my first remembered book was the Flinstones Dictionary for my 4th birthday. I read the whole thing front to back, and memorized the spelling of the hardest word: xylophone.

Big Mouth Singers.
It was a little plastic piano with heads on the back. When you pressed the keys, the mouths would open.
I wish I still had it!

A knitted penguin called, appropriately, Penguin, and a doll in a blue romper called Blue Baby.
I still dream about Blue Baby sometimes. She was a huge part of my childhood.

A large blue bear that was bigger than me as a baby. I still have him although he now has a few patches to stop his stuffing falling out.

A stuffed bear - I called her Lunita.

I remember having a ice cream cone toy that you could take apart and put together with different colored balls of plastic ice cream. I even remember how it smelled (crazy, I know)!

A panda bear. One of the blue eyes popped out and I remember the distraught and world set right when my miracle granny could make him all better again.

My good old friend Teddy (teddy bear). My five year old now has him.

A beautiful big baby doll given to me by my aunt. She was probably very expensive. I gave her a haircut.
