3. Hide and Seek and Snowball fights and bombing cars with Snowballs.

4. Legos... Still have much of the stuff I built as a kid because my Dad stored it as I left it when I got older. Found it many years later. Awesome score.

5. I shared tangible things to a Fault but I Hated being copied.

1. Model horses - I was nuts for them

4. Play that involved my own imagination, or with one friend at a time

5. It depended on the situation...

[MENTION=19170]Coyote[/MENTION]

i am sure it was not the my pretty pony kind of horse either.....

did you keep any of them?

 

[syrenn]

Q: As a child, what was your favorite toy?

A: A Winchester rifle like The Rifleman had. Also, a bolt action rifle made of wood and steel. I slew thousands of black hat cowboys and Japs with those things.


Q: Were you more likely to play by yourself or with other children?

A: By myself. The reasons are long and complicated. A messy divorce with custody battles lasting over a decade, resulting in moving every year or so, sometimes living with other family members. Complicated by a mentally ill mother with Munchausen by proxy syndrome, leading to me spending big chunks of my childhood in hospitals.



Q: What was your favorite children's game?

A: Dodgeball.


Q: What kind of play were you most interested in?

A: If reading counts as play, then reading was by far my favorite play activity. I read two to three books a week growing up. My mother taught me to read with Grimm's Fairy Tales when I was four. I was reading college level books by the time I was twelve.


Q: How well did you share?

A: I was not very good at sharing, sad to say. I have done my best to make up for that in adulthood.

[MENTION=34052]g5000[/MENTION]

reading counts. Did you have favorite types of books?

I had a huge collection but sold off most of them when I started doing things with dogs. I kept a few favorites (I had a set of Julips that I had gotten when we traveled to England - and couldn't bear to part with them). We used to paint, reposition and show them. They still do now only instead of the incredibly high bucks of $30 it's as much as a thousand. Not a hobby I've indulged in for many years now.

 

[syrenn]

1. As a child, what was your favorite toy?
Is a bike a toy? Otherwise, a toss-up between Barbies and anything 'science'..... I used to design Barbie clothes and sell them.

2. Were you more likely to play by yourself or with other children?
Is a sibling 'other children'? We were usually best pals.... Had a couple of other friends I'm still in touch with sporadically

3. What was your favorite children's game?
The sis is about 3 years older than I - when I was really little, she'd come home from school and play 'teacher' to me while we did her homework. After I got to first grade, that game was over!

Mostly the adventure games we'd make up while riding our bikes and exploring every inch that wasn't built up (which actually was a lot of ground: see Overbrook Park, Philadelphia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)


4. What kind of play were you most interested in?
Riding bikes, doing 'crafty' things like painting - and reading. We used to ride our bikes over to the library, which was a couple of miles away (see:https://www.google.com/#q=Public+libraries+near+Overbrook+Park,+Phila ), that's 'B' on the map as 'A' didn't exist at the time.......

5. How well did you share?
Extremely well, as a rule: whenever we 2 argued, the parents would stuff us into the smallest room in the house (which became mine again once Dad graduated from evening college), which was 7 x 9 feet. They'd tell us 'Don't come out until you can be friends'...... So we bonded over mutual loathing of parental discipline, LOL.

That and our fascination with felines.....we used to drag home every cat or kitten we could, thinking we might be able to convince our Mom to let us keep it. Never understood how she *always* knew we had a kitty in the house. Once we found out about allergies, we gave up on kitties and tried to love our goldfish - but it just wasn't the same : ((

Now I'm looking at retirement condos which have a walk-in closet the size of that bedroom - and my Sis is planning to move to the same retirement community as we're going to. So I guess that 'sharing' bit really did stick.

[MENTION=37709]MHunterB[/MENTION]

how cool is that..... did you keep some of the outfits you made for the barbies?

 

[syrenn]

1. As a child, what was your favorite toy?
Like Coyote I loved my model horses more than anything. Also modeling clay.

2. Were you more likely to play by yourself or with other children?
With other children when available, but also enjoyed playtime by myself when I could be more creative.

3. What was your favorite children's game?
By myself, using the modeling clay to build sets and make up stories using the horses. With the other kids, sandlot baseball and playing cowboys and Indians.

4. What kind of play were you most interested in?
Imaginative stuff acted out with other kids or by myself.

5. How well did you share?
I had no siblings near my own age and all the other neighborhood kids were a lot richer than I was so I didn't have anything they wanted me to share.

Yes, and watching the different colors gradually morph into a uniform gray as they always did when they were mixed together. And feel how it felt in my hands and watchng whatever I was creating with it take form.

5. How well did you share?

1. I was never into toys, though I did go to the homes of children that I now realize were more well off, and wished I had a G.I Joe.

2. I played by myself just fine, but always played with others when they were around.

3. Favorite game I guess was War, you know, building forts of some kind and bombing each other with dirt balls and what have you that could be thrown without real harm.

4. Out in the forest building forts or treehouses, pretending we were knights or whatever. In winter, we built caves in the mountains of hay bales stacked in our humogous barns. In summer we built rafts of whatever we could find and sailed down the Kanawha and Ohio Rivers like Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn.

5. I was good at sharing. I usually got what I needed. Now living in Sweden, I know the Vikings once called it "Logrum," which the closest you can interpret is "enough" as they passed a common mug around, and each man took what he needed.
