Vintage Toys Live Here

Fisher Price makes good stuff. I saved just a few select toys but they've held up well, and now Caleb and Alexa play with them. This record player still works, although for reasons I don't understand, some of the records play better than others. In today's digital world, most kids don't even know what a record player is. At their house, Caleb and Alexa have toy iPods, so this really is a novelty to them.We've also managed to keep up with all six of the coins that came originally with the cash register. What kids doesn't like to push buttons?Most of these Little People were Phillip's and he loved them when he was little. At some point in the 80s or 90s Fisher Price did away with these little Little People and began making them a lot bigger and chunkier. Upon visiting the Fisher Price website, I learned that Little People are 50 years old this year! I also learned that we just missed the Little People Live Musical Show at Zoo Atlanta this past weekend. Here's my all-time favorite. What I've shown is just a sampling. Here's the rest.
