Vintage - Games Not Grandma!
These are the toys that our grandson, Spencer always heads for when he comes for a visit. Antique toys. Ones that my husband played with as a child. So what does that say about my husband?
I share these pictures because I recently became aware of Back to Basic Toys that has classic toys that you and I played with as children. I took a look at some of the toys they have and was delighted to find some of my favorites.
Remember Tinker Toys? Ahhhhh . . . I had so much fun with them as a child. I thought they were the best ever! A set is only $36.00. (This seems rather steep to me. How about you?)
They also have Lincoln Logs (which are on sale for only $21.49 which is much cheaper than the $43 they are originally priced), the Fisher Price Corn Popper (my kids had this, not me) and the Fisher Price Chatter Telephone (again, I didn’t have this but my children did). I wonder whether or not our grandchildren will even recognize this chatter phone . . . You can read here about our grandson’s experience with a land line phone . . .
I think that I’m going to have to get some of these old-fashioned toys. I think that our grandchildren will love them like I did. (Hear that Spencer, Natalie, and Simon? You WILL love them . . .)
Check out Back To Basic Toys. They just might have some of your favorite toys that you would like to get and share with your own grandchildren.

I have noticed that Target also is carrying the vintage type toys as well in their toy section. Gotta love the good sturdy toys!
I love the old toys and think it’s great that Spencer does too. We’re both fans of Melissa & Doug toys and puzzles. Find ‘em on sale and they’re actually a good price!
