Zoot's Daily NaBloPoMo Writing Prompt: Toys

(I'm giving daily writing prompts everyday here and I'm going to write the post later in the day at my blog. Feel free to use the prompt if you're running into writer's block. If you do, please leave a link to your entry in the comments. Thanks!)

What type of toys did you play with as a child? Did you have a favorite? Was it a toy you dreamed about getting all year from Santa so when it finally came you had no choice but for it to be your favorite? Or was it some off-handed gift that you found an unexpected attachment to? Did you have a collection as a child? Stickers? Beanie Babies? A group of things that you found important? Do you still have any of those favorite items? Did you save them for your own children? Did they end up in some other child's hands at a yard sale or charity drive?
