Mine was a gold six shooter given by my Dad on my 6th birthday. I knew I could save the world with it. Trouble is I am a girl and my father did not think it was the right thing for a girl to have.
I remember when I was about 2 or 3 years old， the lady lived next door to us and she made me a baby doll.
Probably just plain thrown away， but it would not have been me that did it!
I eventually gave them all to my cousins as I got older.
when I jumped on it， it broke in half.
I still have it， although it is in my closet.

My Little Ponies! I collected them for years. I took them everywhere I went， even after I had over 50 of them. I even took them on vacation， lined them up and brushed their hair for much of the vacation. I was quite upset when they were no longer around， but rejoiced when they returned a few years ago. And my collection had started to grow again.
I just had a memory of something that I had forgotten about.
I remember playing with that baby a lot. When it started to come apart， you could see that it had been stuffed with stockings/panty hose. I loved that doll! I don‘t remember if I named her or not though.
It was a lot of fun when I was around 6 was this thing my brother got for Christmas. It was a motorcycle. You stuck this long strip type with hundreds of little edges on it through a hole in the motorcycle and pulled it out really fast and put the motorcycle down and watched it speed across the room. That was a lot of fun. New Oriental School
An inch worm. This was a toy you set on and bounce and the worm would move when you bounce.
Pac Man ball. It was just a rubber ball with Pac Man on it. But we played hockey with it， threw it around， bounced it against a wall for hours， chucked it at my brothers and sisters. It was a very simple， yet very well used toy.
A very expensive pressure water gun. I used it as weapon to play tiny war game with my neighbor friends in the yards. my grandma thought it was a load of rubbish so she burnt it.
My favorite toys were transformers and Power ranger Zords..you know， the ones like Voltron that combine into one big robot. I loved pitting wars against them， and changing the forms of all the toys was soooo much fun. I eventually gave them all to my cousins as I got older. I miss my falcon zord.
It is a brown dog， material dog， seeming in its sleep. And it is close to my bed inside my own room in my parent’s house. I see it only when I go to the countryside to find them and my real dog.。.they have the same shade of brown

Children playing by themselves develop independence through imaginative play and depending on themselves to be entertained. Children playing with others must learn to cooperate
Advantages of Playing with Others： Kid develops socially and is less likely to be shy and will find it easier to make friends. They tend to learn how to talk better sooner， and develop their motor skills faster because they learn from their peers.New Oriental SchoolChildren playing with others：
Advantages - Everything. Because of their socialization they will be more “normal.” That‘s what human interaction does. People learn how to cope with not getting your way all the time， learn to share， be unselfish， and most importantly what’s is or is not socially acceptable/unacceptable.
Disadvantages - your child might get injured or even killed by playing with others by getting themselves in situations they otherwise wouldn‘t (but then again they could get themselves killed being alone also)。 They could get negatively influenced by peers to do not so good things.
Advantages of playing alone- they learn to use their Imagination， they sometimes can learn new things by focusing on it， without being disturbed by another child wants or opinions.
Disadvantages of playing alone- They usually have a hard time adapting to other children in social enviorments， they sometimes don’t like sharing items if they play alone lot.New Oriental School
Advantages of playing with others- they learn to share， they learn new games， different ways to do things， they sometimes can learn things quicker form another child showing them. you as a parent can see how they interact with other children to see if they are socially where they need to be for their age. You also can view how other parents handle issues that you may need help with. You also can learn their play style.
Disadvantages for playing with others- they fight over toys， they learn some behavior or language that you may not find acceptable for your family morals and values. sickness goes around quicker because small children put everything in their mouths .
