Fisher Price record player

I looked on ebay last night at the camper vans - got very nostalgic. Now about five years too late .

Dd2 had the little FP radio which played 'Raindrops keep falling on my head' over and over and over...and over.............!

I have the teapot-found it sitting on the ground next to village recycling bins. I took it home and cleaned it up and bought the little people/furniture on eBay. Dgc loved it!

You stay off ebay rose - I want them!!

roseq I was going to ask if anyone remembered the 'big yellow tea pot' I saw it advertised last week, I didn't know they still made them.
DD had the TV too and pull along phone but DGC have now outgrown them.

They are for sale on ebay but we have a houseful of toys - again!

You're not having mine!

I want another camper!!

And now, of course, I just want to go on eBay and buy all these vintage toys for my GC, haha!

We have a little brown and white dog with a clacker which DGD loves pulling round (donation from friend whose children had grown out of it). He is minus a tail but she loves him.

We used to have a Big Yellow Tea Pot as well.

The words of 'Row, row, row your boat' have always, in our house, ended with 'Life is buttercream'.
It is one of my 5 month old GD's favourite songs and now she's learning that ending too, oh dear

had a clacker.... (please delete the word 'such' lol!)

We still have our Play Family Camper with the boat - alas no people though . I wish we still had the Play Family House, and the Play Desk. My DS had the little tip up truck, which operated by squeezing a bulb at the end of a rubber tube (the tube also acted as the 'pull along'). This little truck had such a clacker attached to one of the wheels, so that as DS ran about the house pulling it behind him, the clacking sound got faster and faster and was very loud. Very annoying. I waited till he was in bed one night and doctored the dratted thing .

Did anyone else have the street that opened up with a bridge joining both bits with lots of different shops! Obviously, the dentist was the most exciting bit for us.

We had the garage and donated it to the optician's waiting room. It's still there and I want it back!

DD had the Fisher Price record player, but the favourite, most played with, was the camper van the boat on top! I was really sorry we didn't keep that. I've never seen another one. Weren't Fisher Price just the sturdiest, almost indestructible toys?

The FP record player was my eldest daughter's very favourite toy. I recently found one in a charity shop, it didn't work but I gave it to my daughter to remind her of her early years.
We had lots of Fp's excellent toys, the Big Wheel was another favourite.
Remember the Tree House? That wasn't FP but it seemed every child had one.

DS2 had a FP radio which played Hickory Dickory Dock. He nearly drove the nurses crazy when he was in hospital at the age of 2, winding it up in the middle of the night. I think it may be in my loft.

And the little wooden dachshund with the spring tail!

.....nearly forgot the Ferris wheel!

We had kept several FP toys in the loft for the grandchildren. Their favourite is the hospital which is still played with and the lift still works!

I saw a FP record player in t Museum of Childhood, last week. It was one of the things I commented on! If anyone gets a chance do go,it's full of nostalga!

'life is gup a dream!'
Actually, kitty DD was grown up before she realised there was no such thing as a 'butter dream'

Gasp!! The Camper Van, yes, yes! DD1 loved it, she would play with it and the little people for ages.
We have the Fisher Price house passed on by a kind neighbour and I bought some people for it, the DGDs love it.

Actually it's 'life is gup a dream!'

Seriously nostalgic for old FP, it was indestructible.
The pull along phone, garage, record player, bath whatsit that stuck to the side with plastic suckers, a zoo train.
How I wish I'd kept them
